A new Democratic-oriented super PAC formed in mid-July has disclosed its donors and reported more than half a million dollars in independent expenditures supporting New Jersey U.S. Senate candidate Cory Booker.

The Mobilization Project registered on July 15. Their first report indicated it had receipts of $375,000 between July 15 and July 24. The major contributions were from Ravenel B. Curry IV (investor, Eagle Capital Management, N.Y.) $50,000; Ravenel B.
