The Federal Election Commission (FEC) shows that Warnock has received individual contributions totaling $65.2 million, of which 88.8 percent came from out-of-state donors
- According to OpenSecrets, a nonpartisan research group that tracks political donations, Warnock is the top Senate recipient of contributions from outside his own state
- Because corporations are prohibited by federal law from contributing directly to political candidates, this money is funneled through various committees and leadership PACs to which company employees purportedly donate money
- The following sample contains names that most will recognize: Alphabet Inc (Google, etc.) AT&T Inc Apple Inc Comcast Corp Amazon.com Cox Enterprises IBM Corp National Amusements Inc Meta (Facebook, etc.) Netflix Inc Microsoft Corp Walt Disney Co Oracle Corp Warner Brothers-Discovery
Bottom Line
- Warnock was the top Senate recipient of largesse from civil servants, from whom he received $1.2 million
- He also received more money than any other senator from the education lobby, which contributed $3.7 million to his campaign
- Kemp has been actively working to vitiate the effect of Warnock's out-of-state money by campaigning with Walker on the stump and cutting campaign ads explicitly urging voters to send the former football star to Washington
