Kirsten Gillibrand received over 20,000 thousand dollars from Palo Alto High School. A school not even in New York and completely across the country.
Kirsten Gillibrand received over 20,000 thousand dollars from Palo Alto High School. Why is a California high school giving $20,400 to a Junior New York Senator? This really makes no sense. Why is a public school giving taxpayer money to ANY campaign? Is the high school name BS and meant to hide the real donor? Is this a money laundering scheme? Palo Alto High School is in one of the richest neighborhoods in the U.S. It is a pipeline to the University of California system, Stanford, and Ivy League schools. What’s more even the teachers are extraordinarily well-connected. For instance, Esther Wojcicki teaches media arts at the school. She is mother to Susan Wojcicki (CEO of YouTube) and Anne Wojcicki (founder of 23&me and ex-wife of Google founder, Sergey Brin). So, this could be something sinister or just extraordinarily wealthy and well-connected people working regular jobs in the most liberal paradise on earth. Even if Palo Alto High School is the name of the employer of the people who donated, $20,400 is a huge donation from a bunch of underpaid teachers. If they can afford that kind of donation, I guess their pay isn’t too low. From Open Secrets:

The high school did not give money, much less taxpayer funds, to the campaign. Employees and their families did. Jeesh, learn how to read. From your own link (and in bold and red font, at that):
“The organizations themselves did not donate, rather the money came from the organizations’ PACs, their individual members or employees or owners, and those individuals’ immediate families.”
Yes learn how to read… Even if Palo Alto High School is the name of the employer of the people who donated, $20,400 is a huge donation from a bunch of underpaid teachers. If they can afford that kind of donation, I guess their pay isn’t too low.
As I said, learn to read. This is the aggregate of donations of $200 or more. By Federal law donors have to report their employers:
“Under federal law, all contributions over $200 must be itemized and the donor’s occupation and employer must be requested and disclosed, if provided.”
Nothing sinister (except in the mind of a conspiracy theorist).
Why would a school in California care about a senator in New York… ? Because, she is going to be the next red queen, 2020. Too bad she ain’t a black lesbian.
