Among the politicians to receive the blessings of the largesse of Mitchell Wade, benefactor to San Diego Congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham, is none other than Katherine Harris (R-FL), to the tune of $10,000 in the last election cycle (no word on whether she sold him a house as well), plus an additional $44,000 from officers, employees of his company, MZM, Inc. Apparently, his company, a DC-based military contractor, has also been very active in local Republican politics, says the San Diego Union-Tribune, with potentially illegal contributions being coerced out of employees to the company PAC.

UPDATE [6/21]: In fact, MZM was the largest single contributor to both Harris and Rep. Virgil Goode (R-VA) in the last election cycle (but, interestingly, not to Cunningham). A public watchdog filed a complaint today against MZM and Mitchell Wade with the F.E.C.
