The Role of Donors in Political Campaigns

In the political landscape, donors play a crucial role in funding campaigns, often investing their time and resources to support candidates they believe can win. Kathy Soreff, a Republican donor, illustrates this point through her experience with George Santos, whom she supported despite his unconventional background. Initially charmed by Santos' charisma, Kathy felt compelled to back him in hopes of securing a Republican victory in a Democratic stronghold. However, her trust in his candidacy would soon be challenged as the reality of Santos' actions came to light, revealing a deeper complexity in the relationship between donors and the candidates they support.
