‘Breaking Bad,’ ‘West Wing’ actors among out-of-state donors in Maryland’s wide-open U.S. Senate campaign

In real life, Bob Odenkirk, who played a morally-challenged attorney in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, is a campaign donor to President Joe Biden and an outspoken critic of former president Donald Trump. But his political contributions don’t stop there. In an era in which out-of-state money increasingly influences state races, the Los Angeles-based actor gave $1,500 to Montgomery County Councilman Will Jawando, a Democrat seeking the U.S. Senate opening created because Maryland Democrat Ben Cardin isn’t seeking reelection next year.
