Demos’ dough

Besides Scott Peters, just who has been getting major cash from Democratic fat cats in La Jolla’s 92037 zip code during the election cycle recently concluded? According to Political Money Line’s database, once-imprisoned former super lawyer Bill Lerach came up with $10,000 in January for the federal committee of San Diego’s Democratic Party. Qualcomm billionaire Irwin Jacobs kicked in $10,000 to state Democrats on October 15.

But the real Demo juice was to be had in downtown’s 92101. Kristie Nova, founder and CEO of Bespoke Partners, gave a total of $64,800 to the Democratic National Committee Services Corporation on June 12. Michael Nova, chief medical officer at Pathway Genomics, which develops DNA tests, contributed $17,600 July 14. “We partner with elite Private Equity firms to deliver top executives for their portfolio companies,” according to Bespoke’s website. A major client has been JMI Equity, the venture-capital outfit of ex-Padres owner John Moores, a longtime financial angel to former president Jimmy Carter and ex-Democratic state senator Steve Peace.

Checking in behind the Novas was Robbins, Geller, Rodman and Dowd, the plaintiffs’ law firm to which Lerach once belonged, with $10,000 to the Democratic Attorneys General Association on June 18.
