Jeb Bush asks donors to limit gifts to $1 million

[n2doc]

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Jeb Bush has a plea for wealthy donors: Don’t give more than $1 million right away.

The requested limit, reports the Washington Post, may mark the first time a presidential hopeful has sought to hold off supporters from contributing too much money. The Post writes the move reflects concerns among Bush advisers that accepting massive sums from a handful of ultra-wealthy supporters could fuel a perception the former Florida governor is in their debt. Bush has yet to officially declare his candidacy, but he is already on track to raise tens of millions of dollars by the end of this month for two political action committees set up in January.
