background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">new report</a>, indeed may be close to a decision to throw, at a minimum, tens of millions behind Rubio’s White House bid. In 2012, he and his wife, Miriam, donated <a href="http://www.opensecrets.org/outsidespending/donor_detail.php?cycle=2012&id=U0000000310&type=I&super=N&name=Adelson%2C+Sheldon+G.+%26+Miriam+O." style="text-decoration: none; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">more than $92 million to conservative super PACs</a>, making them the largest donors in a single cycle in history. Last fall, Adelson’s daughter, Shelly Adelson, and son-in-law Patrick Dumont<a href="http://www.opensecrets.org/news/2015/02/paul-and-rubio-make-headway-with-big-donors/" style="text-decoration: none; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">both donated</a> to Rubio’s leadership PAC. On Jan. 19, just days before Rubio first signaled he would likely run for president, Sheldon and Miriam Adelson each contributed $10,200 to the Rubio Victory Fund.In all, 51 people gave $10,000 or more to the fund, accounting for $574,000 of the $1.7 million raised from individual donors.Another significant name near the top of that list: Ben Heller, a New York real estate developer who in 2014 donated $365,000 to <a href="http://www.opensecrets.org/outsidespending/detail.php?cmte=C00567982&cycle=2014" style="text-decoration: none; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">B-PAC</a>, a super PAC that worked mainly, and unsuccessfully, to defeat Democrat Gary Peters’ bid for Michigan’s open Senate seat. Heller’s <a href="http://www.opensecrets.org/outsidespending/contrib_all.php?cmte=C00567982&type=A&cycle=2014" style="text-decoration: none; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">fellow donors to B-PAC</a> include some of the most influential and most sought-after names in conservative outside spending: Alticor Inc., owned by the conservative mega-donor family of Richard DeVos, and hedge fund managers Paul Singer (the <a href="http://www.opensecrets.org/overview/topindivs.php" style="text-decoration: none; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">No. 3 top donor in the 2014 cycle</a>) and Robert Mercer (<a href="http://www.opensecrets.org/overview/topindivs.php" style="text-decoration: none; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">No. 4 on the 2014 donor list</a>). Heller also donated heavily to Mitt Romney’s campaign and — to complicate matters — last September made maximum donations to the campaign and leadership PACs of one of Rubio’s biggest rivals for the GOP nomination: Sen. <a href="http://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/summary.php?cid=N00033085&cycle=2014" style="text-decoration: none; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">Ted Cruz</a> (R-Texas).Another top donor to Rubio Victory Fund — who also appears to be a steal from the Cruz camp — is Stephen Chazen, chief executive officer of Occidental Petroleum, who gave $10,400 to the Rubio team on March 23, the same day that Cruz officially announced his campaign. Chazen has previously been a big supporter of conservative super PACs, including presidential ones. According to disclosure records filed last week by Cruz’s campaign, Chazen did not donate in the first eight days of his campaign.In 2012, Chazen donated $100,000 to <a href="http://www.opensecrets.org/outsidespending/detail.php?cmte=C00499731&cycle=2012" style="text-decoration: none; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">Make Us Great Again</a>, the super PAC that backed GOP presidential candidate Rick Perry, and $50,000 to <a href="http://www.opensecrets.org/outsidespending/detail.php?cmte=C00510941&cycle=2012" style="text-decoration: none; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">Texas Conservatives Fund</a>, a super PAC that split from the GOP establishment to back Cruz’ Senate run. Chazen has also donated $200,000 to <a href="http://www.opensecrets.org/outsidespending/detail.php?cmte=American+Crossroads/Crossroads+GPS&cycle=2014" style="text-decoration: none; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">American Crossroads</a>, and last fall gave $125,000 to <a href="http://www.opensecrets.org/outsidespending/detail.php?cmte=C00564765&cycle=2014" style="text-decoration: none; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">Freedom Partners Action Fund</a>, the super PAC at the heart of the Koch network of donors, and $100,000 to <a href="http://www.opensecrets.org/outsidespending/detail.php?cmte=C00543256&cycle=2014" style="text-decoration: none; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">Kentuckians for Strong Leadership</a>, a super PAC that backed Senate Majority Leader <a href="http://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/summary.php?cid=N00003389&cycle=2014" style="text-decoration: none; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">Mitch McConnell</a> (R-Ky.) in his re-election bid.Rubio Victory Fund also picked up a $10,400 donation from Roger Hertog, a New York philanthropist who has previously served on the board of Club for Growth and the American Enterprise Institute. Hertog has given $550,000 to the American Crossroads super PAC and large donations to both Cruz and his leadership PAC.And that’s just the start — the Rubio Victory Fund also scooped up donations in excess of $10,000 from other prominent donors like Randy and Ken Kendricks, the owners of the Arizona Diamondbacks baseball team, and New York grocery magnate Jon Catsimatidis and his wife.All of those donors, notably, are not from Florida, Rubio’s presumed natural base for fundraising. In fact, two-thirds of the money pulled in by his Victory Fund came from other states. A total of $380,000 in donations came from California, not traditionally a big source of votes or donations for GOP candidates, and $150,000 came from donors in New York, which has become the epicenter of Republican presidential fundraising. Rubio pulled in $508,000 from his home state.The Victory Fund money is ostensibly not for Rubio’s presidential run; while these donors clearly like him, their gifts don’t mean they’ll also fork over cash for his White House campaign. But we’ll know soon enough.<div style="color: rgb(33, 43, 74); font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
