At least one lawmaker, Rep. Kurt Schrader, D-Ore., won't accept future donations from Koch industries and will donate what it has recently received to a charity dedicated to providing aid to Ukraine, spokeswoman Deb Barnes said after CNBC emailed to ask about the donations.
"Schrader believes as long as the company has decided to continue to do business in Russia during the war he will not accept donations from the company," Barnes said in a statement. In February, the Koch Industries PAC contributed just under $120,000 to over two dozen U.S. lawmakers, with most of the the donations going to the campaigns or political action committees of Republicans on Capitol Hill, according to the most recent Federal Election Commission filing.Republican Reps. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., and Ronny Jackson, R-Texas, along with GOP Sens. Rand Paul, R-Ky., and Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa each received donations from Koch ranging from $1,000 to $5,000 last month.
Reps. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, Sanford Bishop, D-Ga., Jim Costa, D-Calif and Terri Sewell, D-Ala., have all seen donations in the 2022 election cycle from the Koch Industries PAC.
