The large Silicon Valley gift was revealed through a state filing released Thursday, according to Politico, and makes Hastings the largest donor to Newsom’s recall campaign.
There is no limit on the amount of funds the governor can raise under California law because he is not considered a candidate and rather a ballot issue.
Meanwhile, other gubernatorial candidates are subject to campaign limits of $32,400 per election in their direct accounts.
Other sources are also backing the governor including the Democratic Governors Association, which donated $500,000 last week, and California’s nurses union, which donated $400,000 on Thursday.
Newsom’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic resulted a petition drive to get a recall vote put the issue on a ballot, likely as soon as November.
Among the GOP candidates committed or poised to commit to challenging Newsom are former Olympian to reality TV star Caitlyn Jenner, former San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer and businessman John Cox. Each will almost certainly have to campaign with much lower funds than Newsom, without the support from the tech giants.
Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
