New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning has decided who to back in the 2016 presidential race.

According to the Federal Election Committee, Peyton’s little brother — a two-time Super Bowl champion in his own right — donated $2,700 to Jeb Bush’s non-profit, “Jeb 2016, Inc,” for use during the Republican primary.

Manning — worth an estimated $23.7 million by Forbes — is no stranger to politics. Peyton — during his first season with the Broncos — donated $5,000 to Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign, and both brothers lent vocal support up through the election.

So far, Jeb Bush’s super PACs, “have raised a purported $100 million, a figure that has raised many eyebrows in the campaign finance world.”

According to the FEC database, Peyton has not made any contributions during the current election cycle.
