Colfax
Corporate Finance and Political Patronage InfluenceDescription
Colfax employs Brian Dweck as its CFO. Dweck donates to Representative Mark McKittridge, whose brother directs the White House Office of Presidential Personnel, and presses for a job placement for his son David. President Bartlet names Colfax during Deborah Fiderer's Oval Office interview to deduce the patronage chain that led to her firing, highlighting how corporate executives leverage contributions for personnel favors amid White House hiring pressures.
