Partial list of real estate donors over the past five years to Councilor Decker’s campaign funds
Like most Cambridge city councilors, Marjorie Decker gets a lot of campaign donations from developers and real estate lawyers. The presence of landed interests is endemic. Some Cambridge politicians receive much more from them than she does. Councilors Davis, Kelley and Simmons, on the other hand, get far less. This list consists mostly of corporate real estate operators and does not include family and a number local realtors and owners.
