2024-10-30 update. Private equity firm Staple Street Capital owned Dominion Voting in 2019–2021. SSC’s founding investor and an operating executive board member was William E. Kennard. The Obama-Biden administration appointed Mr. Kennard Ambassador to the EU in 2009, following his donation and bundling of more than $500k toward Obama’s election in 2008.
The uncertainty surrounding the title stems from Mr. Kennard’s attempts to conceal his affiliation with Dominion Voting. In 2017, SSC dissolved and reorganized into one or two companies with similar names. Here, SSC includes all those companies. His role in the SSC was also described as “a member of the Operating Executive Board of Directors of Staple Street”.
Mr. Kennard was a member of Secretary of State John Kerry’s Foreign Affairs Policy Board, a board member of the New York Times, AT&T, and other corporations. He has been Chairman of the Board of Directors of AT&T since November 6, 2020.
You can read this complaint in a lawsuit against Dominion et al. From the complaint:
“Kennard has personally donated nearly $90,000 to a combination of Barack Obama,
the Democratic National Committee, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and bundled more than half a million dollars in donations to the Obama campaign.”
