Republican/Nike Founder Phil Knight donated $250,000 to incumbent Democrat John Kitzhaber's campaign.
Background story: Nike is headquartered/incorporated/founded in Oregon. Nike was a little too unsure about the state's tax structure so the Democratic governor called an extra super duper special legislative session
to placate Mr. Knight's fears. Nike got their tax breaks and Mr. Knight donated to the campaign of a Democrat as a big thank you.
Going forward, whenever Democrats tell me that Republicans are in bed with business, I will make sure to refer them to exhibit A below:
