Abstract

The increase in corporate political donations brought by Citizens United vs. Federal Election Committee (2010) has given businesses more power. Using regression analysis, I analyzed the proportions of PAC donations from businesses to incumbent senators re-elected in 2018 and 2020 in order to determine a relationship between contributions to senators and political ideology scores. Republicans were largely unaffected by the portion of business PAC donations they received, but Democratic senators who received a larger portion of PAC donations from businesses became more neutral than Democratic senators who did not receive such a high percentage of corporate PAC donations.
