Governor Kate Brown Banks Political Donation From Centene Corporation

The governor has received financial support from both union and corporate sources, including $5,000 from Centene, the health conglomerate that snatched up the Lane County CCO and has its eyes on others.

Gov. Kate Brown netted a $5,000 campaign contribution last month from the Centene Corporation, the Missouri Fortune 500 company behind the controversial takeover of Trillium Community Health Plan.
