They shelled out $2.1 million that cycle, with just over half of that landing in the coffers of a super PAC backing GOP candidate <a href="https://www.opensecrets.org/pres16/candidate.php?id=N00037008" target="blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;">Chris Christie</a>, <a href="https://www.opensecrets.org/pacs/lookup2.php?strID=C00573055&cycle=2016" target="blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;">America Leads</a> ($1.3 million.) Another $350,000 went to a super PAC behind Republican John Kasich, <a href="https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/summary.php?id=D000068085" target="blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;">New Day for America</a>. In the general election, Gilbert veered left, donating $150,000 to Clinton’s joint fundraising committee, <a href="https://www.opensecrets.org/jfc/summary.php?id=C00586537&cycle=2016" target="blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;">Hillary Victory Fund</a>.</span></p><p style="margin: 5px 0px; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: large; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); padding: 5px 0px;"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Cavs minority owner Gordon Gund and his wife Llura claimed the number three spot among NBA owner-donors. Of their $1.4 million in campaign contributions in 2016, $750,000 went to super PACs affiliated with Kasich. But the Gunds went for Clinton in the general election, giving $30,000 to her joint fundraising committee.</span></p><p style="margin: 5px 0px; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: large; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); padding: 5px 0px;">Contributions to Trump’s election effort came from just three team owner pairs: <b>Peter and Julianna Holt </b>of the San Antonio Spurs, James Dolan of the New York Knicks, and DeVos. Holt was the biggest Trump booster; he and his wife donated just under $500,000 to Trump’s joint fundraising committee, of which Trump received $5,400; the rest went to GOP party committees. Not far behind was Dolan, who gave $300,000, $2,700 going into Trump’s coffers.</p><p style="margin: 5px 0px; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: large; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); padding: 5px 0px;">...</p>
