Every couple of weeks in much of 2019 and 2020, a Milwaukee retiree named
Janet Seizyk sent a couple hundred dollars or so to Republican U.S. Rep.
Matt Gaetz‘ reelection campaign in Northwest Florida.
So did retiree
Jeffrey Steinkamp of Rochester, Vermont. Sometimes retiree
Susan Brunoff of New Holland, Pa., would only send $35 or $50, but sometimes she’d send as much as $800. Retiree
Phillip
Barnes of Suffolk, Virginia, only sent modest amounts, usually $50 checks, but like clockwork, twice a month.
Retiree
Hugh Bancroft of Rancho Santa Fe, California — of the family that once controlled Dow Jones and Co. — sent monthly $1,000 checks to Gaetz.
