Former Hollywood mogul Ryan Kavanaugh is backing a longshot candidate for L.A. County sheriff who has promised to make it easier to get concealed weapons permits.
Kavanaugh’s Proxima Media gave $215,000 last month to an independent committee that supports Bob Lindsey, a retired sheriff’s commander who is running against incumbent Jim McDonnell in the June 5 election.
Kavanaugh, the former CEO and founder of Relativity Media, contributed to Mothers for a Safe L.A. County, which has raised $312,000 in total in support of Lindsey’s campaign. Other donors include YouTube star Logan Paul and his brother Jake Paul, who each gave $2,000.
A spokesman for Kavanaugh, Henry Eshelman, did not respond to requests for comment. Eshelman is also serving as a spokesman for Lindsey’s campaign, raising an issue of potentially improper coordination between the candidate and the independent committee.
Lindsey has made liberalizing the department’s concealed weapons policy a centerpiece of his campaign.
