He’s already pledged $10 million to a super PAC supporting Mitt Romney. Now casino mogul Sheldon Adelson will be pledging another $10 million to the Koch Brothers’ efforts in this year’s election, according to Politico.

The pledge was delivered earlier this week by an aide to Adelson during a donor summit in San Diego hosted by David and Charles Koch’s political operation, according to Politico. The two brothers own Koch Industries, one of the largest private companies in America, and are active politically.
