How corporations have squashed efforts to crack down on their greed.
John, a new study from Public Citizen shows that corporations used their enormous lobbying power to kill legislation that would have cracked down on price gouging and lowered costs for families.
From the report: Corporate interests deployed lobbyists to oppose bills taking aim at prescription drug costs, bank overdraft fees and sky-high gas prices more than 2,600 times since 2020, outnumbering the bills’ supporters 9-to-1.
Opponents of these bills spent $751 million on lobbying.
Katie will always stand up to corporate special interests and lobbyists—and she doesn't accept a dime of their money. She’s proud to work for California families, not big corporations’ bottom lines.
Thanks for helping keep her in Congress.
