Disney Spends Nearly $1 Million in Anaheim 2024 Election
Disney has dropped nearly $1 million so far on Anaheim’s city council election a little over two years since a corruption scandal first broke in OC’s largest city, which alleged Disneyland resort influences hold outsized influence on city hall.
Hospitality interests like Marriott hotels, real estate interests like the California Association of Realtors and local public safety unions are also spending significantly in the Anaheim City Council races.
The money comes after city hall was rocked with two corruption probes, in which FBI agents and independent investigators with decades of law enforcement experience allege Disneyland Resort interests heavily influence policy making in Anaheim.
The name of Disney’s typical political spending committee – the Support Our Anaheim Resort political action committee (SOAR) – pops up in a FBI affidavit and an independent corruption page report.
