MGM Resorts International made a donation of $2,500 on January 20, 2026, to Friends of Jennifer Boysko, the campaign committee for Virginia State Senator Jennifer Boysko. Boysko serves as a Democrat representing Senate District 38 in the Virginia General Assembly, a position she has held since 2019 after earlier service in the House of Delegates.
MGM Resorts International operates as a major hospitality and gaming company with properties across the United States, including significant operations in Nevada and Maryland. The company maintains a political action committee and contributes through its PAC as well as individual employees and affiliates. Public campaign finance records show that in recent election cycles, the majority of MGM Resorts International’s contributions have supported Democratic candidates and committees, accounting for approximately 71 to 73 percent of its total giving.
Among the recipients of MGM Resorts International support in recent cycles are Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Jacky Rosen of Nevada, who received over $64,000; Democratic U.S. House candidate Susie Lee of Nevada, with more than $44,000; and Democratic U.S. House candidate Steven Horsford of Nevada, totaling over $23,000. Additional Democratic beneficiaries include Kamala Harris with more than $20,000 and Maria Cantwell with nearly $10,000. On the Republican side, contributions have gone to the National Republican Congressional Committee for over $30,000, the Republican National Committee for nearly $20,000, and candidates such as David Joyce of Ohio for $10,000, Mark Amodei of Nevada for $10,000, and others including Donald Trump with nearly $15,000 in individual contributions.
In Virginia, MGM Resorts International has directed funds in connection with efforts to influence legislation related to casino development. The company owns the MGM National Harbor Hotel and Casino in Maryland and has participated in opposition to proposals that would introduce additional gaming facilities in the state, including spending associated with defeating a referendum and related bills for a casino in the Tysons area.
Boysko’s committee received the $2,500 contribution amid MGM Resorts International’s broader pattern of political giving that spans both parties but leans heavily Democratic in volume. The donation represents one instance in the company’s ongoing involvement in state and federal campaign finance, where total contributions from the organization and its affiliates reached hundreds of thousands of dollars in recent cycles. Virginia campaign finance disclosures track such transfers to candidate committees like Friends of Jennifer Boysko, providing public records of the January 2026 transaction.
This contribution fits within MGM Resorts International’s established approach to engaging with elected officials across multiple jurisdictions. The company has also supported committees such as the Virginia Senate Republican Caucus and other PACs in the state, alongside its federal activity. Public data from sources including the Federal Election Commission and state reporting systems document these patterns without alteration.
The $2,500 amount to Friends of Jennifer Boysko aligns with standard contribution levels seen in MGM Resorts International’s giving to various state-level candidates. As a publicly traded company in the gaming sector, its political expenditures reflect interests in regulatory environments affecting casino operations, employment, and competition in key markets. Records indicate consistent activity through PAC disbursements and affiliated individuals, with totals for the 2024 cycle exceeding $500,000 across recipients.
