When Haim Saban launched the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers in the 1990s, he quickly built an empire by spinning off the kids TV series into licensed toys, apparel and much more.
Media mogul Haim Saban has donated $1 million to super PACs supporting President Barack Obama and Democratic congressional candidates, according to a report filed late Friday with the Federal Election Commission.
Saban donated the money on June 25th to Unity PAC, a fundraising committee created to raise cash for Priorities USA, (Senate) Majority PAC, House Majority PAC. Saban’s contribution is the largest Hollywood super PAC donation March, when Bill Maher donated $1 million to Priorities USA, the struggling pro-Obama super PAC.
Democratic fundraisers are hopeful that the mogul’s contribution will prompt other liberal donors to kick in cash to match the millions being raised by the pro-Republican super PACs.
