Former VP releases list of bundlers to promote transparency

Alan Patricof, the founder of Apax Partners, sits among a very powerful list of bundlers for potential Democratic nominee Joe Biden. Over the weekend, Biden released the list of bundlers, who will raise at least $25,000 on his campaign. Patricof is also the founder and managing director of Greycroft, which has $1 billion under management.

Furthermore, the list also features a “Who’s Who” roster of Washington power and a wealth of former U.S. ambassadors. Names include:

• Pennsylvania Sen. Bob Casey;
• Delaware Sen. Chris Coons;
• Former White House chief of staff Erskine Bowles;
• Dorothy McAuliffe, wife of former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe.
• Elizabeth Frawley Bagley, former U.S. Ambassador to Portugal;
• Denise Bauer, former U.S. Ambassador to Belgium;
• Anthony Gardner, former U.S. Ambassador to the European Union;
• Mark Gilbert, former U.S. Ambassador to New Zealand; and,
• Hollywood producer Jeffrey Katzenberg.

Finally, Biden released the list at a time that other candidates are debating over money in politics. Recently, South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg also voluntarily released the names of his top bundlers.
