News Georgians for Mitt Romney
Posted by Andisheh Nouraee on Tue, Apr 17, 2007 at 5:12 PM
From the website OpenSecrets.org, here are some of the notable Georgians who've donated to former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney's '08 presidential campaign. $2,300 is the maximum legal donation.
To clarify, by "notable" I mean people whose names stand out to me when I look at the list.
Clark Dean, $2,300 -- Dean is a managing director at the Atlanta office of Studley, a fancy-panted commercial real estate brokerage firm.
W. Thomas Haynes, $2,300 -- Haynes is executive director of the Coca-Cola Bottlers' Association.
Nancy Coverdell, $2,300, -- Nancy Coverdell is the widow of Republican Sen. Paul Coverdell, who died in 2000.
Sam Kellett, $2,300, -- Kellett is the founder of Kangaroo Bob's, a commercial recreational facility for kids where children apparently "hop from fun to learning!" Gov. Perdue just appointed Kellett to the Jekyll Island State Park Authority. Kellett's wife, Jennifer, also donated $2,300.
Julian LeCraw, $2,300 -- LeCraw is the founder of developer Julian LeCraw & Co. LeCraw & Co. owns several prominent intown developments, including M Street (at Marietta and Northside) and the Buckhead Grand high-rise. His wife Joanne LeCraw also gave $2,300.
Hartley "Buddy" Blaha, $2,100 -- Blaha is Newell Rubbermaid's president of corporate development. The company is building its new corporate headquarters near Perimeter Center. Rumor has it that the building will be the only air-tight, completely see-through office building in Atlanta.
Jeffrey Fuqua, $2,100 --Fuqua is president of the Sembler Company, whose Edgewood Retail development is where I'm having lunch today!
Sunny Park, $1,000 -- I have no idea who Sunny Park is. I just think it's a delightful name.
Over the next few days, I'll peruse the other donor lists as well.

Don't keep us guessing, Scott. Where'd you have lunch at Edgewood? Five Guys? They make a tasty burger!
