Majority Of Lobbyist Donations Go To Democrats
Organizations donated $94.7 million to campaign committees and federal candidates through their political action committees during the first half of 2009, with a majority of those contributions landing in the coffers of Democrats, an analysis of midyear lobbyist contribution forms by Lobbyists.info revealed.
Of funds donated by organization PACs that could be broken down by party, 63 percent went to Democrats and 37 percent went to Republicans. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee received $3 million from organization PACs, making it the top recipient.
The analysis also found that organizations donated $22.5 million through funds not associated with their PACs and lobbyists donated $13 million from personal funds.
The top Senate recipient was the late Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., who received $1.6 million from organization PACs in the first half of 2009, just as questions loom about where his re-election funds will go following his death.
The top House recipient from organization PACs was Minority Whip Eric Cantor, R-Va., who received $1.2 million.
The top donating organization PAC was the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, which donated $1.6 million, and the top donating organization excluding PAC funds was Wal-Mart, which donated $1.2 million.
The LD-203 forms that are used by registered lobbyists and lobbying organizations to report contributions were first introduced in 2008 under the Honest Leadership and Open Government Act.

Federal lobbyists helped collect more than $3.7 million during the first six months of 2009, and nearly $2.3 million went to Democrats, the analysis shows. The party now controls both chambers of Congress and the White House.
