Blue Supporter

An anti-Trump judge has a history of supporting the Blues:

McConnell’s contributions include $28,500 to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which funds House candidates, in 2008, according to Open Secrets, which monitors money in politics. He contributed $25,000 toward the election of North Dakota Sen. Heidi Heitkamp in 2000, $12,500 to the Washington State Democratic Party in 2008; $10,000 to the Rhode Island Democratic Party in 2004; and $7,500 to then-Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle reelection in 2006. In total, he contributed $190,000 to members of Congress and at least $200,000 combined to the Democrat Party at the national and state level, CQ Roll Call reported. The donations came before he ascended to the federal bench. Obama nominated McConnell for the judgeship in March 2010, but the Senate didn’t confirm him until May 2011 by a 50-44 vote. The judge’s wife, Sara Shea McConnell, has also been a major donor to Democrats, according to both Open Secrets and Roll Call, contributing $250,000 to Democrat candidates. She also contributed $4,200 to the campaigns of Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I.
