American Journal News: The NRSC and SLF “have received a combined $6.83 million this year from oil company PACs, executives, and trade groups, all while fuel prices rose as a result of the war in Iran”
The Daily Beast: “Oil companies, energy executives, and industry groups have poured more than $6.8 million into the Senate Leadership Fund this cycle”
In case you missed it, new reporting reveals that GOP Senate candidates are cashing in on their votes to support Trump’s war in Iran with a flood of money from Big Oil. While Americans are struggling with crushing gas prices as a direct result of the war, the oil and gas lobby is directing millions of dollars to the Republican Senate campaign arm and the top fundraising PAC for Senate Republicans.
Meanwhile, some GOP Senate candidates who voted to extend Trump’s war with Iran have “come under scrutiny for substantial oil and gas investments that enable them to personally profit from the war.”
