But the list left off a number of people the Buttigieg campaign had previously touted as top donors in an internal campaign fundraising report obtained by POLITICO. <\/p>\n<p>They include uberwealthy supporters such as Boston power broker Jack Connors Jr. \u2014 who declared he was \u201call in for Pete Buttigieg\u201d in a June fundraiser invite \u2014 and Hollywood producer Jordan Horowitz, whose films include &#8220;La La Land.&#8221; Buttigieg also omitted hedge fund investor John Petry; William Rahm, senior managing director at the private equity firm Centerbridge Partners; Nicole Avant, the former U.S. ambassador to the Bahamas; and former U.S. Ambassador to Italy John Phillips. The latter two were also major Obama donors. <\/p>\n<p>Candidates voluntarily disclose bundlers to signal forthrightness and allay concerns about conflicts of interest, and lists of bundlers \u2014 people who are frequently rewarded with ambassadorships and nominations to other administration posts \u2014 offer important windows into the high-powered networks that support candidates like Buttigieg. <\/p>\n<p>In a statement, the Buttigieg campaign said it had made an error and would update its public list of campaign bundlers \u201cto include an accurate accounting.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Don;&#8217;t blame him, it&#8217;s just the way that McKinsey &amp; Company almuni count.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Under pressure, Pete Buttigieg promised to open up his fundraising meetings and to reveal his big dollar donation bundlers.
