Wyoming investment fund manager Foster Freiss confirmed to NBC that he is one of the principle backers of the Red White and Blue Fund which put over $500,000 into campaign ads in Iowa for Rick Santorum and which is planning to expand its reach to New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Florida on behalf of the former Senator. From the report:
Freiss, who is based in Jackson Hole, Wyo., is the founder of an investment fund called Freiss Associates, which includes on its website a quote from a Business Week article touting him as “the longest surviving successful growth stock picker.”
He has a long history of backing Santorum, having donated $250,000 to a conservative group, Softer Voices, that ran ads on behalf of Santorum during his unsuccessful 2006 reelection campaign. He also has been a major donor to other GOP and conservative causes over the years, having given $250,000 to the Republican Governors Assocation last year as well as pumping a reported $3 million into The Daily Caller, a conservative website run by former MSNBC anchor Tucker Carlson.
