The chart above depicts the percent of contributions in U.S. Dollars donated to Republican and Democrat candidates/parties/affiliated groups, seeking national office during the 2020 election cycle, donated by employees, or owners, of the companies listed, and those individuals' immediate family members, based on data collected from www.opensecrets.org.
In some instances the money was possibly donated by the actual company, but the bulk of it typically comes from individuals within the company, or immediate family members of individuals within the company. The only way I'm discussing the actual organization is if I reference it as "the organization itself", otherwise, I'm talking about the jargon mentioned above (individuals within the company, owners, employees, direct family, etc.). In some instances, the money considered contributed may come from PACs affiliated with the mentioned organization.
- Anheuser-Busch - Individuals affiliated with the company donated nearly twice as much to Biden as Trump in 2020.
- Coors donated (from the organization itself) only to Republicans. However, individuals affiliated with the company donated slightly more to Biden than to Trump (~18k-~12k).
- Constellation Brands donations from the organization itself were ~$80k to Democrats and ~$33k to Republicans. Individuals affiliated with the organization donated $27,013 to Biden, and not a penny on record directly to Trump.
- I would have left Pabst off the list altogether, except that $25 of that $150 went to Joe Biden. So, I had to make sure to inform the readers of this site that such a donation is very anti-trumpany of them, and did not go unnoticed!
Finally, Democrats on the Left, Republicans on the Right!
