STAMFORD, Conn. Former President George W. Bush is among the high-profile Republicans who have donated to former pro baseball player and manager Bobby Valentine s independent campaign for mayor of Stamford.
Hearst Connecticut Media reported Saturday that financial disclosures show Bush gave $500 to Valentine s campaign, which has collected about $300,000 in individual donations since he announced his bid in May.
Valentine was the manager of the Texas Rangers baseball team when a group led by Bush bought the team in April of 1989. Valentine left the team before the 1993 season.
