COLE PAC Among Top Givers


From our archives 11/16/06 ~ COLE PAC, the political action committee operated by 4th District Congressman Tom Cole, has emerged as one of the top givers in the 2005-2006 election cycle.

OpenSecrets.org reports the PAC spent $647,494 in the cycle as of October 18th; a final report likely will increase that sum.

Cole, who is in the running to become chairman of the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee, donated to dozens of GOP congressional candidates across the country.

The numbers show COLE PAC raised $252,294 from individual donors and donated $361,111 to candidates.

They also show that former Oklahoma Republican Party Chairman Clinton Key, now a Washington political operative, was paid $103,289 through mid-October as a consultant to the PAC.
