Betsy DeVos' family boosts McSally's 2020 campaign with $22K in contributions in 2019
WASHINGTON – Education Secretary Betsy DeVos’ family members spent $22,400 so far this year to help fund Arizona Republican Sen. Martha McSally’s re-election prospects, according to federal campaign finance data released this week.
DeVos’ in-laws – Michigan conservative donors and heirs to the Amway fortune – have plowed cash into the coffers of Republican Senate candidates across the country who are up for re-election in 2020, the records show.
DeVos’ husband, Dick, has three siblings – Doug, Daniel and Suzanne – each of whom contributed $5,600 to McSally’s campaign in March. Doug’s wife, Maria DeVos, also contributed $5,600 to the campaign. That’s the maximum contribution allowed per election cycle under federal election law.
McSally, who was appointed by Republican Gov. Doug Ducey to take the seat of the late Sen. John McCain, is facing a special election in 2020 to determine who will serve the final two years of the term. McSally lost her 2018 Arizona Senate race to Democrat Kyrsten Sinema, and she’s expected to face a serious challenge in 2020 from Democrat Mark Kelly, a former astronaut and the husband of former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.
