Hoffman donated $250,000 on November 30, and Scott donated $125,000 on December 22.
The donations, representing a total of $500,000 are the three largest individual contributions on record for Spanberger's campaign, which ended 2023 with over $3.6 million in funds received.
Aside from their personal connections to the state, Virginia is home to the largest concentration of data centers in the world.
