-*CHRIS CHRISTIE*-

Chris Christie, the two-term governor of New Jersey, is currently polling at 1%, but that has not stopped him from garnering the support of super PAC America Leads, which has raised $11 million with the support of 137 contributors, several of them billionaires. The PAC recently released its donor list. Politico describes what is perhaps the most noteworthy entry:

“Winecup-Gamble Inc., a Nevada ranch owned by former Reebok CEO Paul Fireman, gave the group $1 million. Fireman, who lives outside Boston, plans a massive, $4.6 billion casino in Jersey City if state voters approve a constitutional amendment to allow gambling outside of Atlantic City.”

Other America Leads donors include:

· Las Vegas casino mogul Stephen Wynn
· Hedge fund manager Steve Cohen and his wife Alexandra, who contributed a combined $2 million
· Quicken Loans chairman Daniel Gilbert gave $750,000.
· Home Depot founder Ken Langone gave $250,000
· Anheuser-Busch heir August Busch ponied up $100,000.
· Hewlett-Packard CEO Meg Whitman donated $100,000.
· Wrestling mogul Linda McMahon gave $250,000.
· George Harms Construction gave $25,000 (and it’s worth noting this company acquired more than $100 million in New Jersey state agency contracts in 2014)
· Ferreira Construction gave $100,000 (also worth pointing out the $34 million this company received from the New Jersey Turnpike Authority, also in 2014)
· Public Service Enterprise Group gave $250,000.
