Single Donor Super PACs continue growing

For the 2014 election super PACs controlled by one donor raised $113,000,000; in 2012 such organizations raised $33,000,000. In 2014 there were 59 single donor super PACs, in 2012 34. Many of these people I had never heard of: Thomas Steyer, Ronald Firman, Kenneth Davis, etc. Then there are the Michael Bloombergs and Sheldon Adelsons. More individuals are using their wealth to get their guys elected.
