Kaine spokesperson tells Fox News Digital campaign contributions ‘have no effect’ on the senator’s decisions
A multibillion-dollar energy developer has wired tens of thousands of dollars to Democratic Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine’s campaign in recent years while aggressively pushing a massive offshore wind project.
The Richmond, Virginia-based Dominion Energy’s political action committee (PAC) has funneled $23,000 to Kaine for Virginia since 2011, with the latest, a $1,500 contribution, coming in February. In that same time span, Dominion Energy has given another $44,500 to Common Ground PAC, the leadership PAC affiliated with and chaired by Kaine.
Since 2021, Dominion Energy executives led by CEO Robert Blue and Senior Vice President William Murray have donated $19,600 to Kaine’s campaign. At the same time, lobbyists who Dominion has contracted made payments totaling $3,000 to the campaign.
“Dominion Energy believes in full transparency of its political donations,” Dominion Energy spokesperson Ryan Frazier told Fox News Digital in an email. “We give to a bipartisan mix of leaders at the state and federal levels and have supported Sen. Kaine since his bid for lieutenant governor in 2001, after he was mayor of the city Dominion Energy calls home.”
Corruption Rules!
Grease the palms to gain anything!
A smile or thank you – forgitaboutit!
I used to have to look around to find where I left my ‘Surprised Face’. Now, thanks to Bribem and his corrupt friends and appointees I’m close to wearing it out! I may need to go online and order a couple of spares!
