Gov. Perdue (NC) gives a “shout out” to JUTE Networks
Around 4:00pm EDT today I got a few text messages from people attending the Institute for Emerging Ideas (IEI) Forum in Raleigh, NC. Governor Bev Perdue (D-NC) had just highlighted JUTE Networks as a company that had started a “tech startup” in North Carolina. Thanks for mentioning us Gov. Perdue!
In response, I wanted to say thanks, tell you a little bit about IEI and check out any data I had on Gov. Perdue.
IEI is self-described as:
The Institute for Emerging Issues (IEI) is a public policy, think-and-do tank that convenes leaders from business, non profit organizations, government and higher education to tackle some of the biggest issues facing North Carolina’s future growth and prosperity.
You can learn more at their website: http://www.ncsu.edu/iei/
I went into the data I had readily available from the National Institute for Money in State Politics. What I had were the top donors in NC–just a few people–but two of them had given to her campaign. You can see that and some more visualizations in the gallery below.
(Red = Republican; Blue – Democrat; thick line = a donation of $2k or more)
