Enron biggest contributor to Bush




The Associated Press

        President Bush has received more money from Enron, its employees and their relatives over his political career than from any other source.

        The contributions supported Mr. Bush's unsuccessful House campaign in 1978, his two campaigns for Texas governor, renovation of his governor's office, the 2000 presidential race, his inaugurations and his presidential recount fund.

        Among the contributions, according to the Center for Public Integrity, Center for Responsive Politics, and Texans for Public Justice:

        • Texas governor's races: at least $312,500, including $122,500 from Enron CEO Kenneth Lay and his wife, Linda Lay; at least $160,000 from other Enron employees and their relatives; at least $30,000 from Enron political action committee.

        • 2000 presidential campaign: at least $113,800 from Enron's PAC, its employees and their relatives, including $2,000 each from Kenneth and Linda Lay.

        Kenneth Lay also raised at least $100,000 for the campaign as a member of the Bush “Pioneers.”

        • Presidential inaugural gala: $100,000 from Enron; $100,000 from Kenneth and Linda Lay; $100,000 from then-Enron President Jeffrey Skilling.

        • Bush presidential recount: $5,000 each from Kenneth and Linda Lay; $500 from Enron employee Hal Elrod.
