Congressman Richard Neal (D-Springfield) is the top corporate political action committee donation recipient in the U.S. House of Representatives in this election cycle, and he doesn't see a problem with it.
Neal's relationship with corporate PACs has been a frequent attack theme of Holyoke Mayor Alex Morse, a fellow Democrat taking on Neal in Massachusetts's First Congressional District. Through the end of June 2020, Neal had received $1,970,393 from corporate PACs in this election cycle, the majority of the $3,041,205.92 he had raised.
If the Democrats win the presidential election, at least one $14 billion fortune can breathe a sigh of relief.
That sum is the endowment, roughly speaking, of the Ford Foundation. Maya Harris, the sister of Democratic vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris, did a stint at the Ford Foundation as vice president for democracy, rights, and justice. That's the same Maya Harris who served as the chairman of the Kamala Harris presidential campaign.
