Ouch: Rep. Jim Oberstar, D-Minn., has just one donor from his district
With a potentially competitive race developing back home in Minnesota’s 8th District, Transportation Committee Chairman Jim Oberstar collected a contribution from just one resident of the district between June 22 and Sept. 30, according to a federal election report filed Wednesday.
Jane Robbins of Pine City gave Oberstar $500 on Aug. 22.
Other than that, all of his contributions came from political action committees, Native American tribes or individual donors in other districts and states.
With the policies that Oberstar supports, she should have pocketed the $500. She may need the savings to pay her taxes.
