Gov. Glenn Youngkin of Virginia has appointed hundreds of donors to his political action committees to state board positions during his tenure in Richmond, according to an analysis by a Democratic super PAC.

The 14-page report, shared exclusively with NOTUS by American Bridge 21st Century, found that Youngkin appointed donors to over 400 board seats and state positions. Those donors in total gave more than $6.5 million to Youngkin-aligned PACs.

When including donations from those donors’ families, businesses and business associates, that number rises to $10 million.
