There have been a number of excellent stories about PMA Group campaign donations and connections to lawmakers this week, which we thought worth noting given the controversy over earmarks has once again reared its head in Washington.

  • Paul Magliocchetti, founder of the PMA Group, and nine of his relatives -- two children, his daughter-in-law, his current wife, his ex-wife and his ex-wife's parents, sister and brother-in-law -- steered $1.5 million in campaign contributions to lawmakers from 2000 to 2008, CQ Politics reported.
  • In a story titled "Inside Murtha's Earmark Factory" Politico takes a look at the ties between a PMA Group client and Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa.
  • From 1998 through the 2008 election cycle, PMA Group and clients gave $40.4 million to federal candidates and leadership political action committees of 516 lawmakers, with Democrats getting 58 percent of those dollars, according to a Center for Responsive Politics analysis of campaign donations. Rep. Murtha is among the top recipients of those dollars. See here for more.
  • ProPublica, the non-profit investigative news site has created a backgrounder on the PMA Group and Murtha story. See here.
