An environmental group said Herschel Walker is “heavily funded by the oil and gas industry.” The industry represents less than 1% of his direct campaign donations.
from the oil and gas industry, as of Oct. 28, Open Secrets’ analysis showed. The League of Conservation Voters’ figure of $140,000 comes from the total in July.
People who donate to political candidates must list their occupation and employer if they give more than $200. Sometimes donors don’t provide that information.were from individuals who said they were retirees; or from Democratic or liberal PACs or mostly individuals who associate with that ideology; or donors who worked in education.
Walker’s top industries include $6.7 million from retirees, $1.6 million from donors aligned with Republicans or conservatives, and $1 million from the real estate sector. That means that the $190,000 from the oil and gas industry is on the lower end of his industry donations., but only about $13.6 million of those donations are reflected on Open Secrets’ industry analysis. Why the difference? The industry analysis includes only the top industries, and some donors’ occupations aren’t listed.
There have been sizable donations from oil and gas interests to outside political action committees, and some of those donations can be directly tied to Walker’s race:to the Senate Leadership Fund on Nov. 15. The Senate Leadership Fund, a group aligned with the Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell, is spending about $14 million on ads in the Senate runoff in support of Walker.
