Ben Cline Follows, the Money Leads
Here is a partial list of Congressman Cline’s campaign contributors, from the opensecrets.org website:
Altria Group - $14,500
Altria is a tobacco company. They sell 45% of the cigarettes in the US and are a leading
producer of smokeless tobacco.
Buckeye Liberty PAC - $10,000
This PAC is affiliated with Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan, an election denier closely tied to Trump. Cline is also a MAGA election denier. He sued to invalidate the 2020 election results for several states, and voted against certifying the results for Arizona and Pennsylvania.
Space X - $10,000
Owned by billionaire Elon Musk, head of DOGE. The EPA determined earlier this year that a
Musk-owned data center in Tennessee violated environmental regulations.
Union Pacific - $8000
UP plans to merge with Norfolk Southern, creating a giant coast-to-coast railroad system.
Opponents say the merger would increase costs, decrease worker safety, and limit
transportation options.
Dominion Energy - $7500
A pending merger between Dominion and NextEra Energy would create the world’s largest
regulated electric utility. Critics warn that such a large company would increase costs for
consumers.
Kalshi, Inc. - $7116
Kalshi is a prediction market broker. Mental health counselors find that prediction markets
harm the mental and financial health of users with gambling addictions.
Will Ben Cline uphold his oath to “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution?”
Will he vote for the health and safety of constituents?
Will he reduce our energy bills and other household expenses?
Or will he vote for the interests of his corporate sponsors?
