San Diego Jewish Press-Heritage, March. 16, 2001

 
San Diego (special) -- Two prominent members of San Diego County's Jewish community—Irwin Jacobs and Sol Price—have been rated as being among the top 400 political donors in the nation. Both men are Democrats. 

Jacobs, of Qualcomm fame, donated $333,000 to various candidates and causes in the last election, while Price, founder of the Price Clubs, donated $197,500. Among recipients of their largesse was Rep. Susan Davis (D-San Diego). 

Other San Diegans who made the exclusive club of big donors, and their company affiliations, included Charles and Darlyn Davenport (SeaWest Windpower), John & Becky Moores (San Diego Padres), Alex & Joan Spanos (San Diego Chargers), Ted & Faye Waitt (Gateway), and John & Cristy Walton (Walmart). -- Donald H.
