Alex Lasry raised more than $1 million for his 2022 bid to unseat Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, topping the Republican incumbent and all the Democratic primary opponents in the first quarter, with help from the worlds of sports, entertainment and Wall Street.
Lasry, the senior vice president of the Milwaukee Bucks basketball team co-owned by his father, Avenue Capital’s Marc Lasry, received maximum donations for the primary from York Capital Management’s Jamie Dinan, LionTree’s Aryeh Bourkoff, David Einhorn of Greenlight Capital LLC, Oaktree Capital’s Bruce Karsh, and Jason Mudrick of Mudrick Capital Management. All but Dinan chipped in another $2,900 for the general election.
