The Herald-Leader recently featured a revealing report on the Lexington real estate investors who have dominated Lexington’s housing market. We took a look to see who these investors contribute to politically.
The biggest donor was Dennis Anderson, who owns Anderson Communities. He gave loads of money to Urban County Council candidates in Lexington this year and last. He is #8 on the list.
Fayette PVA David O’Neill, LFUCG Mayor Linda Gorton, Lexington-Fayette Urban County Council candidates James Brown, Josh McCurn, Jennifer Reynolds, Whitney Baxter, Fred Brown, Chuck Ellinger, Amanda Bledsoe, Richard Moloney, Bill Farmer, Preston Worley, and Liz Sheehan, among others, also received donations from the real estate investors. Here are some of the highlights: (it’s best to view these tables on desktop.)
