Pennsylvania Senate candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz has an alliance with members of the wealthy du Pont family.
The influential du Pont family has a net worth of $16 billion and some 4,000 heirs to that fortune, which primarily comes from DuPont, one of the oldest chemical companies in the world, according to Forbes. DuPont's global headquarters are based in Wilmington, but one of its chemical plants is located in the neighboring state of Pennsylvania.
Ben duPont, who co-founded the technology consulting firm yet2 and ran the now-defunct venture capital fund yet2Ventures, is one of Oz's biggest backers from the du Pont family so far. Oz's wife's father, cardiology surgeon Dr. Gerald Lemole, who isn't a du Pont, donated $1 million in January to the American Leadership Action political action committee, a pro-Oz super PAC.
Ben duPont donated $50,000 to the American Leadership Action PAC in late December. The super PAC is solely backing Oz's Senate run. He then contributed another $20,000 to the same PAC in February, the records show. Super PACs can spend and raise an unlimited amount of money. The super PAC has spent more than $1 million opposing McCormick's campaign for the Senate, according to Center for Responsive Politics.
