Dr. Gottlieb contributed the most money toward Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.), spending $2,600 in the primary and $2,600 again in the general election in 2013. Sen. Sasse was a vocal anti-Trump supporter, penning an open letter in February 2016 about how he could not support Trump, who was “dividing” the nation, in his view.
