In the 2000 election, 36% of pharmaceutical giving went to Democrats vs. 69%
to Republicans and in 2004 it was 31% only to the Dems (vs. 67%). But as
the 2008 presidential elections neared, the situation became more equal,
with 49% of the $20 million donated to federal candidates and the parties
going to the Democrats vs. 51% to Republicans. Overall that year, drug
company donations to Democrats increased by $2.9 million, while those to the
GOP decreased by $3.9 million.
Congressional Democrats, if singled out, even pulled ahead, with $11.3
million of drug company donations going to them, versus the $10.2 million
that went to Republicans in the House and Senate.
Barack Obama was the single biggest recipient in 2008, with $848,000,
followed by Hillary Clinton with $639,429, indicating strong Democratic
leanings in the presidential race. Significantly less was received by the
Republican candidates--first Mitt Romney who got $410,411, and only then
John McCain, receiving $347,375. |
