Nike co-founder Phil Knight has contributed $2 million more to help Republicans gain seats in the Oregon Legislature.
Knight made the donation April 4 to the Bring Balance to Salem PAC, which aims to elect Republicans to the Legislature, campaign finance records show. The donation was disclosed Thursday in accordance with campaign finance rules.
The donation came after Knight contributed $2 million to the same political action committee last year as Republican donors pumped money into legislative races, helping Republicans end Democrats’ supermajority in the Legislature.
Altogether, the Bring Balance committee spent $5 million in 2022 on its cause.
