Pfizer Gives $1 Million To GOP Headquarters In Kentucky

Pfizer has just donated $ 1 million dollars to the Kentucky Republican party building fund.

The donation by Pfizer is one of the biggest donations ever recorded by the GOP of Kentucky.

In 2022, the GOP Party raised only $6,000 through three quarters but now with this massive donation from Pfizer, the GOP headquarters building fund has reached its goal.

The Republican party of Kentucky is led by Senator Mitch McConnell which dumps even more doubts on the Senator minority leader’s ability to not bow down to big corporations.

The Kentucky Latern broke the story:

In what may be the largest political contribution ever given to a political party in Kentucky, the drug maker Pfizer Inc. gave $1 million last month to the building fund of the Republican Party of Kentucky.

A report filed by Republican Party of Kentucky Building Fund last week with the Kentucky Registry of Election Finance listed the $1 million from Pfizer along with five other big corporation contributions in the final quarter of 2022 totalling $1.65 million.

That is an extraordinarily large haul for the fund which had raised only $6,000 during the first three quarters of 2022.

The other large corporate donors to the fund in late 2022 were:

State and federal campaign finance laws set limits on how much a person or political action committee can give to the executive committee of either political party. (A person can give no more than $15,000 per year.) And corporation contributions to a party’s executive committee are prohibited.

But part of a campaign finance bill passed by the General Assembly in 2017 allowed each party to establish a building fund that can accept contributions of unlimited amounts. It also allowed the building funds to accept contributions from corporations.

We won’t be seing Mitch calling out Pfizer anytime soon.
