that process, CEO Brimmeier called ORA’s Senior Associate and indicated that he wanted to
drop something off to her offices for inclusion in the fundraising invitations. Subsequently, CEO
Brimmeier dropped off blue cards to be included in the fundraising invitations, which read
“[First name of Gubernatorial Candidate #2] supports transportation infrastructure. So do we.
