Then-congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham recently resigned after pleading guilty to charges of tax evasion and conspiracy to commit bribery. His alleged co-conspirators, who gave Cunningham more than $2.4 million in return for many millions more in government contracts, include Brent Wilkes and Mitch Wade.

Wilkes and Wade also made hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions at the state and federal level. Below is a list of the candidates and committees at the federal level who received campaign contributions from Wilkes, his employees, and his many companies since 1991.

We'll update the list as we dig up more contributions and as we find out which of these people and committees are going to disgorge any money they received.

Check out Wilkes and Co.'s giving at the federal level here.
