Some of the biggest corporations in the fossil fuel industry have still not answered whether they will keep funding the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC). The NRSC receives hundreds of thousands of dollars from these industries and is led by one of the lead Senate seditionists, Rick Scott.
“Rick Scott’s seditious actions that helped incite the deadly insurrection at the U.S. Capitol can’t be overlooked by fossil fuel companies. These corporations can play a critical role in helping to heal our democracy by cutting off their financial backing to the NRSC while Scott is Chairman. This is a defining moment for our country, and the fossil fuel industry has the chance to be on the right side of history,” said End Citizens United President Tiffany Muller.
Below is a list of some of the top corporations in the fossil fuel industry that have yet to make a comment about continuing to fund the NRSC:
| Oil/Gas/Coal Corporations | Total to NRSC 2020 Cycle |

*Denotes the corporations that have said they won’t fund the 147 objectors or that the vote will “weigh heavy” on funding decisions.
End Citizens United has previously called on corporate financiers to cut off funding to the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), the Congressional Leadership Fund (CLF), and the American Action Network (AAN). These are organizations that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy or Senator Rick Scott direct and oversee. The group has also called on corporations to request refunds from the Republicans Attorney Generals Association (RAGA) for it’s participation in recruiting for and organizing the insurrection through its dark money arm, the Rule of Law Defense Fund (RLDF). RAGA is the association that helps elect Republican Attorneys General (AG) and also helped organize a group of Republican AGs who filed failed lawsuits seeking to overturn the election.
