Big Donors Flock to Youngkin

In his first two full quarters in office, Gov. Glenn Youngkin, a former private equity executive, has taken greater advantage of Virginia's unlimited campaign finance laws than his predecessors. In the last six months, his PAC has raised $3.2 million in donations of $10,000 or more — more than twice as much as his predecessors.
