List of Pam Bondi's top campaign contributors 2010-2014
Executive summary
Public reporting in the supplied results does not deliver a single, definitive list of Pam Bondi’s top campaign contributors from 2010–2014; available sources point to controversies over large donors (including a $25,000 Trump-family–linked contribution to a Bondi-affiliated PAC in 2013) and summarize industry support through groupings like RAGA and foreclosure-related interests rather than a ranked donor table [1] [2] [3]. OpenSecrets is referenced as a data source for donor searches but the specific donor list for Bondi’s 2010–2014 cycles is not included in the materials you provided [4] [5].
1. Why a clear donor “top list” isn’t in these documents
None of the provided articles or profiles reproduces a full, ranked list of Bondi’s top contributors for 2010–2014; conservative and progressive outlets cited focus on examples and patterns — pay-to-play allegations, RAGA funding, and a high-profile $25,000 contribution tied to Trump-era politics — rather than giving an itemized donor table [1] [2] [3]. OpenSecrets is named repeatedly as the go-to database for such searches, implying the detailed numbers would be available there, but the search-results you gave do not contain OpenSecrets output specific to Bondi’s 2010–2014 campaign receipts [4] [5].
2. Examples and themes reporters highlight about donors (what the sources do say)
Accountable.US, carried at Common Dreams and its own summaries, alleges that Bondi’s office took donations that correlated with favorable actions toward big corporations and RAGA-backed causes; the reporting cites RAGA receiving more than $1.26 million from fossil-fuel interests and $133,853 from the NRA during a period when Bondi filed supportive amicus briefs, and flags corporate donors to RAGA as a thematic concern [6] [1]. The same reporting documents a fundraising connection to the Trump family and notes the timing of major Trump-family donations concentrated in 2013–2014, though it also states Donald Trump did not donate to Bondi’s 2010 campaign specifically [6] [1].
3. The high-profile “$25,000” episode and foreclosure-mill donations
Multiple items in the package recount a “pay-to-play” controversy: Bondi solicited and received a $25,000 contribution connected to Donald Trump while her office was deciding whether to join a New York investigation of Trump University; reporting repeats that detail as central to later ethics concerns [3] [1]. Accountable.US additionally alleges Bondi accepted thousands from foreclosure-related loan servicers tied to investigations and later took personnel actions affecting those probes — again an allegation presented as part of a pattern rather than a complete donor ledger [2].
4. Where to get the exact ranked donor list (what these sources point to)
OpenSecrets is explicitly referenced in the material as the practical resource to “search donors” for state candidates and to discover which industries supported officials like Bondi; the supplied links to OpenSecrets signal that a donor-by-donor breakdown for 2010–2014 would be found there, but the specific OpenSecrets pages or export data were not included among your search results [4] [5]. If you want a precise ranked list, the next step indicated by these sources is to query Bondi’s candidate pages and historical cycles on OpenSecrets or state campaign finance filings.
5. Contrasting viewpoints and limits of current reporting
Accountable.US and allied outlets frame Bondi’s fundraising as evidence of favoritism to well-heeled donors and corporate interests [6] [1] [2]. Other pieces in your results — such as neutral biographical pages (Wikipedia) and mainstream profiles (OpenSecrets news) — present Bondi’s electoral wins and career moves without reproducing the campaign donor ranking, implying that while the controversies are well reported, a neutral, itemized donor ranking was not excerpted here [7] [8]. Available sources do not mention a comprehensive donor table within this set of documents.
6. How to proceed if you want the donor ranking
Based on the reporting you provided, consult OpenSecrets’ candidate and state-donor tools and Florida’s campaign finance records for the 2010 and 2014 Attorney General cycles to extract a ranked list of contributors and totals [4] [5]. Use Accountable.US and the cited reporting for context — which donors or industry groups drew scrutiny — and treat both the raw contribution numbers and the advocacy allegations as separate evidentiary threads: numbers show who gave; watchdog reporting interprets potential influence [6] [1] [2].
Limitations: The set of sources you supplied contains analysis, allegations, and pointers to data repositories (OpenSecrets) but does not itself contain a full, verified ranked list of top contributors for Pam Bondi’s 2010–2014 campaigns; any definitive donor table is not found in current reporting you provided [4] [5] [1].
