Who's contributed to Deval Patrick's run for MA governor?

A who's who of (gubernatorial candidate Deval) Patrick contributors


by Carol Beggy and Mark Shanahan, Boston Globe, December 28, 2005

"It should come as no surprise that our boy Ben Affleck contributed $500 to Deval Patrick's gubernatorial campaign. Like a lot of other Hollywood headliners, the guy's a Democrat with a capital D. What's odd is this: On his online donation form, the Oscar winner lists his occupation as 'actor, producer, and ballerina.' Now, that's news. (Not to be outdone, Ben's bride also gave $500 to Tom Reilly's rival, and she used her new name, Jennifer Affleck.) But Bennifer aren't the only boldfaced names backing Patrick. Novelist John Updike just sent a check, as have several Clinton colleagues with whom Patrick worked in the White House. (Patrick was assistant attorney general for civil rights under President Clinton.) Some of the FOBs forking over dough include: former Labor Secretary Alexis Herman; Bob Nash, the onetime head of White House personnel; Clinton's ''Internet czar" Ira Magaziner; attorneys Eric Holder and Bill Lee; Mark Gearan, former Peace Corps director and current president of Hobart and William Smith Colleges; and Mack McLarty, who was Clinton's chief of staff for a time. Other VIPs chipping in include: former Senator Sam Nunn; John Kerry's campaign manger Mary Beth Cahill; former Baltimore Mayor Kurt Schmoke; and Harvard heavies Laurence Tribe, Charles Ogletree, and Henry Louis Gates Jr."

This is but a glimpse at campaign contributors done for an end-of-the-year fluff "Arts & Entertainment" (read: celebrity) article by the Boston Globe. Inevitably, all gubernatorial campaign contributors end up at the Secretary of State's Office in mandatory official filings completed by the candidate. Frankly, I was taken aback at Harvard Law's Prof Tribe!
