Dem Superdelegate Pushing Convention Effort To Stop Sanders Is a Big Pharma Lobbyist Who Backed McConnell: A Democratic superdelegate promoting an effort to stop Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt) if he fails to clinch a majority of pledged delegates is a big pharma lobbyist who has contributed thousands to Republicans, especially Mitch McConnell. A new report by The New York Times, revealed an effort among Democratic party insiders to block Sanders’ path to the nomination if he wins a plurality of pledged delegates but not enough to secure a win on a first ballot.
The Superdelegate leading the effort is William Owen, who owns the lobbying firm Asset & Equity Corporations and donated $8,500 to the Senators Classic Committee, a joint fundraising committee backing Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky) and more than a dozen other Republicans like Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) last year, according to Federal Election Commission filings first flagged by The Intercept.
