Thomas Wynne, the chief operating officer for Alliance Resource Partners, Joe Craft's mining company, and Lexington developer Brett Setzer gave the committee more than $20,000 in the first months of the year. Texas billionaire Darwin Deason and his son, Doug, gave the group a collective $35,000 in September.
