Romney Backers Tied to Mysterious $400K Donation
WASHINGTON (AP) — A mysterious firm that gave $400,000 to help elect Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has direct ties to a married couple who already are among Romney’s top Florida fundraisers, The Associated Press has learned.
The $400,000 contribution from SeaSpray Partners LLC to a “super” political committee, Restore Our Future, is at the center of a new flare-up over loosened federal rules that effectively permit anonymous and unlimited contributions to influence the presidential election.
The contribution came from Gerald and Darlene Jordan, according to Susan Lynch, an executive at Boston-based Hellman Jordan Management. Hellman Jordan’s website describes itself as a “specialty equity investment” firm and Gerald Jordan as a senior executive. The Jordans are top Romney fundraisers in South Florida and hosted Romney at their Palm Beach home last week.
Lynch told the AP that the couple had received the $400,000 as part of an unspecified investment disbursement, which the Jordans asked to be sent directly to Restore Our Future. She said the Jordans received the money as members of SeaSpray Partners LLC and directed it to the super PAC instead of sending it to their normal checking account.
“We were happy to do that,” Lynch said.
Lynch declined to provide more details on the nature of the disbursement. She said that SeaSpray sent updated information to the super PAC, which originally told the Federal Election Commission that the money came from a different firm with an identical name.
