Richard Holland
From Ballotpedia
Richard Holland is a $50,000 donor to Nebraskans United. Nebraskans United is sponsoring an effort to keep the Nebraska Civil Rights Initiative off the November ballot through a petition blocking campaign. The organization's website says, ""We are working to prevent our well financed out of state opposition from gathering enough signatures to place this measure on Nebraska’s ballot this fall."[1]
Holland is a reliable donor to Democratic candidates, having given Barack Obama the maximum allowable donation. In 2007-2008, Holland has given $28,000 to the Democratic National Committee, $9,500 to the Nebraska Democratic State Central Committee, $1,000 to Scott Kleeb, $5,000 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, and $500 to Al Franken.[2],[3]
Holland established the Holland Lecture Series at the First Unitarian Church of Omaha with the goal of providing a "forum for the open discussion of sometimes controversial, but always provocative, ideas that might not otherwise be given voice in Nebraska."[4]
