I managed a first pass through some of the special election contribution data yesterday. First stop, Colleen Hanabusa. A quick query led to this list of top contributors to Hanabusa’s campaign during 2009-2010. The data were downloaded from the Federal Election Commission. They include those giving $4000 or more during the period.

This list appears to reflect the impact of Inouye’s strong backing.

There are other companies that join the list if you combine the contributions of those identifying themselves as officers and employees. Some I’ve identified so far are listed here, but there are likely others where some contributors didn’t provide employer information.
