Nevertheless, on October 20, 2020, Nevada Gold Mines – “the unholy alliance between transnational mining giants Barrick and Newmont,” as liberal blogger Hugh Jackson puts it – donated $250,000 to Home Means Nevada PAC, and on December 21, 2020 it kicked in another $250,000.
So we’re looking at a half-million dollars from Big Mining to a PAC that does the bidding of Nevada Democrats. And how did Home Means Nevada spend its dough in the fall leading up to Election Day?
Well, it donated $250,000 to the Nevada State Democrat Party and another $100,000 to the Nevada Senate Democrats caucus.
It also maxed out at $10,000 each to the Democrats’ three competitive state Senate candidates on the ballot: Kristee Watson, Wendy Jauregui-Jackins and Senate Majority Leader Nicole Cannizzaro.
