John,
$4,358,113.
That’s how much corporate and industry PAC money that members of Congress who voted to overturn the election have benefited from since January 6th.
That’s an outrageous amount, and these companies need to be held accountable. CREW’s new live tracker highlights exactly which corporations are funding the Sedition Caucus, including companies like Toyota, Cigna, Pfizer, JetBlue and AT&T, several of which have gone back on their commitments not to fund members who fueled the insurrection.
Here are just a few of the infuriating numbers:
-
241 corporate and industry PACs have donated in support of Sedition Caucus members.
-
$70,000—that’s how much House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s campaign and leadership PAC have raked in from corporate and industry interests, making him the top recipient.
-
$122,500 has flowed from Koch Industries, the top corporate giver, to benefit the Sedition Caucus.
These companies may be betting that no one cares about their funding of the members of Congress who attacked our democracy and voted to reject election results. But we know that couldn’t be further from the truth. We know that millions of Americans are not going to let them get away with backing members of Congress who’ve demonstrated their contempt for our democracy.
Help us spread the word to hold these companies accountable—share our new tracker on Facebook, Twitter, or by forwarding this email. Together, we can make it clear that funding the Sedition Caucus remains unacceptable.
Thank you,
Robert Maguire
