John,
After the January 6th insurrection, nearly two hundred corporations and industry groups said they would pause or altogether stop making political contributions to the 147 members of Congress who voted against certifying the election.
CREW has been tracking corporate donors to those members, known as the Sedition Caucus, for three years now.
Today, the Sedition Caucus has officially received $100,000,000 in corporate PAC donations.
CREW is not only holding Trump and other insurrectionists accountable, we’re holding corporations’ feet to the fire when they support election deniers.

Who are some of the top corporate contributors to the Sedition Caucus?
Koch Industries: $1,511,000
Boeing: $1,258,500
AT&T: $1,063,900
Valero Energy: $1,040,000
Home Depot: $995,000
UPS: $922,500
Lockheed Martin: $872,000
Comcast: $709,000
Raytheon: $630,500
General Motors: $600,000
Several of the top corporate contributors to the Sedition Caucus, including Boeing, AT&T, and Valero Energy actually promised after the insurrection that they would stop or pause donations to the members who spread the Big Lie. Obviously, they’ve reconsidered, despite the fact that Sedition Caucus members continue to push election lies and erode democracy.
John, these members of Congress are just as dangerous today as they were on January 6th, 2021, when these companies pledged to stop campaign contributions.
Bankrolling the Sedition Caucus is a choice, and these companies have doubled down. Now it’s up to us to hold them accountable.
