SEATTLE, Wash. — Billionaire Microsoft co-founder and Paul Allen made his largest-ever foray into congressional politics this year by donating $100,000 to a group working to keep Republicans in control of the U.S. House of Representatives.
The Seattle Times reports the donation went to “Protect the House,” a joint fundraising committee that allows donors to make a contribution that is divided among candidates and PAC’s across the country.
The Federal Election Commission shows it’s the biggest check Allen has ever sent to a federal political candidate or committee.
Allen owns the Seattle Seahawks and Portland Trailblazers.
