For example, the top recipient of donations, Beto O'Rourke, received $224,463 from Alphabet Inc (AKA Google) in 2018.
- dragonwriter 8y agoThe reporting of sources is potentially misleading: none of the identified organizations gave any money. The amount attributed to them aggregates donations by the organizations PACs (which presumably align with the organization's interests) and their “individual members or employees or owners, and those individuals' immediate families”, including subordinate and affiliate organizations. Now, I don't know about you, but I find that the interests of labor and capital in the same firm are often not aligned, but this list list both as donations by the firm.
