Inflential support
In June 2013 Jeffrey Katzenberg and Andy Spahn were set to cohost a big fundraiser for Newark Mayor Cory Booker's 2014 Senate bid; they also met with Messina about Organizing for Action, the nonprofit group aiming to raise $50 million to advance the president's second-term legislative agenda. Spahn told me he and Katzenberg have heard from many 2014 House and Senate hopefuls looking for Hollywood money. Katzenberg has even been active in Los Angeles, raising more than $150,000 to elect Wendy Greuel, a former DreamWorks employee running for mayor. "This is a very long effort for [Katzenberg], a lifelong effort," Paul Begala says. "My sense is this is not just about one election."[2]
