| According to documents and press releases from the Bush for President campaign there were at least 551 individuals (in some instances couples) that volunteered to participate in the Pioneer fundraising network during the 2000 election cycle. Of those 551, the Bush campaign publicly acknowledged that 241 had attained “Pioneer” status, that is, raised a minimum of $100,000 for the Bush for President campaign. Below is a breakdown of the 551 Pioneer network volunteers by their primary economic interest designation as researched and determined by Texans for Public Justice. |
