IN THEIR POCKETS

Oil and gas companies spent $84 million on congressional campaigns in 2018.  The industry substantially rewards US legislators with campaign donations when they oppose environmental protections. A National Science Foundation study analyzed data from 1990 to 2018. In 1990, 63% of oil and gas money went to Republicans.  That increased to 88% by 2018. Maybe it matters who we vote for?
