Sen. Dianne Feinstein reportedly was given $12,250 in campaign contributions from AIG./AP

For the most part, California's leaders have taken relatively small amounts of money from AIG, especially compared to the likes of Chris Dodd, and even the president himself.

U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who could soon be a candidate for governor, has recieved $12,250 in AIG campaign contributions, and fellow Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer has $9,500. The only others above $8,000 were Democrats Howard Berman ($18,000) and Robert Matsui ($14,000).
