Linda Bean political-donation controversy
Activists urged a boycott after Linda Bean, a founder descendant and board member, donated to a political action committee supporting Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign. The company stated that the donation was personal and not made by L.L.Bean, and chairman Shawn Gorman emphasized that no individual represented the company alone.
