Pawlenty Shuttles Contribution to Alabama GOP
Posted by: Pat Doyle under Minnesota campaigns, Minnesota governor, National campaigns Updated: February 8, 2010 - 6:10 PM
Before speaking to Alabama GOP activists last week, Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty delivered a $100,000 donation to Alabama's Republican party.
According to a blog posting by Minnesota Public Radio, a local GOP official told the audience that Pawlenty urged a donor to support Alabama House and Senate candidates.
"When Gov. Pawlenty came through the doors of the hotel today, he brought with him a check for $100,000," said GOP chair Mike Hubbard, according to a recording posted by MPR. The crowd cheered the news. "Not only is Gov. Pawlenty not charging us, he's bringing money with him," Hubbard said. "So we love him."
Neither Pawlenty's political spokesman Alex Conant nor Alabama GOP officials responded to questions about the donation.
