Eric Cantor's single largest source of campaign contributions was Blackstone Group, the high-rolling financial titan in Midtown Manhattan.

Dave Brat's largest source of campaign cash was Baugh Auto Body on West Broad Street in Richmond.
Brat's stunning landslide win over Cantor in the June 10 primary gives Republicans the opportunity to change from being the party of Blackstone to the party of Baugh.
 
Brat beat Cantor, despite being outspent $5.5 million to $250,000, by running against corporate welfare. "I will fight to end crony capitalist programs that benefit the rich and powerful," Brat said in his victory speech Tuesday night.
