Knute Buehler Picks Up Yet Another Million-Dollar Check, This One From the Republican Governors Association

The money keeps raining in to state Rep. Knute Buehler (R-Bend)'s campaign for governor.

After disclosing a $1 million check from Nike co-founder Phil Knight earlier this week, Buehler disclosed another $1 million check from the Republican Governors Association late Friday night.

As WW reported earlier, recent filings by the RGA show that Knight gave the organization $1 million in August and the RGA then parceled out $925,000 to Buehler in subsequent weeks. An RGA spokesman said the group did not funnel Knight's contribution to Buehler.

Incumbent Gov. Kate Brown, a Democrat, also reported an infusion of national money yesterday—$250,000 from the Democratic Governors Association.

Brown has now raised $12.7 million and has $3.6 million on hand.
