AEG Owner Contributed $100,000+ to GOP 2018

One of the owners of AEG, Philip Anschutz, has donated $134,000 to the GOP last year alone. AEG currently produces New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival as well as all Winter Circle Productions Events (including Buku Music and Arts Festival). People who work and attend these events should be advised that someone who profits from them is using those funds to support groups that promote anti LGBQT discrimination, climate change denial, and other initiatives harmful to society. He has also donated more than $200,000 to anti marijuana efforts in Colorado.
