Top Ten Contributors to California Propositions

Top Donors Updated with Late Contributions Through March 1, 2002!


The tables below identify the contributors who have given the most to support or oppose propositions on California's March, 2002 ballot. Each table also features summaries of total amounts raised and spent, as well as cash on-hand.

Important Note: The top ten donors listed below have been updated with late contribution figures and are current through March 1, 2002. The summary figures have not been updated since first released by CVF and reflect total contributions received by each ballot measure campaign beginning from the time the campaigns were first organized through February 16, 2002.

These figures were compiled from disclosure reports filed by proposition campaign committees with the Secretary of State. In some cases there is more than one committee supporting or opposing a proposition, and in such cases the summary and top ten lists reflect the combined disclosure figures.

Figures below include cash contributions, loans and non-monetary contributions. Contributor information includes ID numbers for political committees and occupation and employer information for individuals, where available. Any revisions or corrections to the figures in the tables will be noted at the bottom of the page.

For more information about CVF's "Follow the Money" projects, please visit our Follow the Money web page. Please complete our feedback form if you have questions, comments or suggestions about this research.

For more information about each proposition, including official summaries, campaign contact information, links to campaign web sites and pro and con arguments, please follow the "more information" links at the bottom of each table, or visit the proposition index page of this voter guide.
