> Basis for Inclusion: Teri L. List holds a documented governance role as an independent director and Audit Committee financial expert at Microsoft Corporation, which made documented political donations to Trump-aligned entities while the corporation faced regulatory and policy decisions directly affecting its financial interests.

This profile documents the factual governance relationship, not the subject’s personal political views.

> Subject Classification: Private Citizen / Corporate Director. Board membership is a matter of public record (SEC filings, proxy statements). This profile documents only the governance role and its connection to documented corporate political activity.

> What is NOT the basis for inclusion: List’s personal political opinions, party affiliation, public statements, or any protected speech are NOT the basis for inclusion. The basis is solely the documented directorial role and its fiduciary connection to corporate political spending documented in the parent corporate donor profile.
