Another lie Enron PAC & Executives Gave $146,500 to 1994 Gubernatorial Campaign Austin--President George W. Bush revised history yesterday when he said that Enron CEO Ken Lay "was a supporter of Ann Richards in my [gubernatorial] run in 1994." While Richards reportedly received $12,500 from Enron sources in that campaign, Bush received far more Lay and Enron money. In fact, in an interview with PBS’s "Frontline" taped on March 27, 2001, Lay said, “When Governor Bush, now President Bush, decided to run for the governor’s spot, [there was] a little difficult situation. I’d worked very closely with Ann Richards also, the four years she was governor. But I was very close to George W. and had a lot of respect for him, had watched him over the years, particularly with reference to dealing with his father when his father was in the White House and some of the things he did to work for his father, and so did support him.” Mr. Lay and Enron's PAC were early donors to Bush’s 1994 race, contributing $30,000 to Bush's gubernatorial committee as early as November 1993. All told, Enron's PAC and executives contributed $146,500 to Bush's first gubernatorial war chest in 1993 and 1994. "President Bush's explanation of his relationship to Enron is at best a half truth. He was in bed with Enron before he ever held a political office," said Craig McDonald, Director of Texans for Public Justice. Total Enron Money To Bush’s 1994 Gubernatorial Campaign Committee: Contributions from Ken and Linda Lay………. $47,500 Contributions from the Enron PAC ………….. $20,000 Contributions from Other Enron Executives …$79,000 Total…… $146,500 Total Enron Money to Bush’s 1998 gubernatorial campaign = $166,000. Total Enron Money to Bush’s two Gubernatorial Campaigns = $312,500.
