Within months of Jan. 6, many companies resumed cutting checks to election objectors they had previously cut off.

Companies aren’t allowed to make campaign donations directly.

Nancy Bocskor, former director of the Center for Women in Politics & Public Policy at Texas Woman’s University and a longtime GOP fundraiser, said the pause after Jan. 6 came at a lull in the campaign cycle – so far from the next election that companies weren’t likely to be writing many checks yet anyway.The timing gave companies a chance to assess the fallout after Jan. 6. The government was not overthrown. Biden became president.

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, helped lead objections to certifying Biden’s electoral victory, arguing that public skepticism about the outcome justified delay. In the House, 16 Texas Republicans joined him. Dozens of companies and trade groups announced they were halting donations to the objectors from their PACs. Some stuck with that approach, refraining throughout the 2022 cycle.Overall contributions from major companies and trade associations to the objectors fell about 10% from 2020 to 2022. But at least 258 of those donors increased what they contributed.analysis shows that 34 Texas-based companies contributed to election objectors in the 2020 and 2022 elections.

Valero Energy increased its donations to election objectors from $220,000 in 2020 to $272,500 in 2022. It did not respond to requests for comment. “We resumed giving from our PAC, which is funded through voluntary contributions from our team members, because we believe engagement in the political and legislative process is important to the success of American Airlines and our team,” the company said.
