Barack Obama’s inaugural committee has raised more than $27 million so far for inaugural festivities, putting the organization on pace to hit its goal of at least $40 million. More than 1,200 individuals have made contributions of $200 or more, but just four are Minnesota residents, according to a list of donors maintained by the committee.
The third installment of our multi-part look at Minnesota’s top 100 political donors focuses on contributors ranked 41st to 50th — a group of individuals or couples who have given between $32,750 and $36,800 each. Familiar names include Robert Pohlad, one of Twins owner Carl Pohlad’s three sons; Michael Wigley, founder of the Taxpayers’ League of Minnesota, and Al Franken, who with his wife Franni gave $33,800 to Democratic candidates this cycle.
