While corporate America tries to lay low and avoid more negative PR for underwriting members of Congress who tried to overthrow the election, we’re putting the spotlight on corporations that fund the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), which is now run by one of the lead seditionists, Senator Rick Scott.
“Corporations that have made the right judgement call to cut off Senator Rick Scott because of his attempt to overthrow the election should certainly not give him even bigger checks through the NRSC,” said End Citizens United President Tiffany Muller. “Senator Scott peddled Trump’s lies and conspiracy theories that led to the deadly Capitol siege. Withholding financial support to the NRSC while Rick Scott directly oversees it will send a loud and clear message to the Republican Conference that seditionists have no place in our democracy. He must be held accountable, and it’s time for these corporations to do their part.”
Below is a list of some of the top corporations that have said they will pause or stop funding the 147 members of Congress who voted to overturn the election results, including Scott, but have yet to make comment about funding the NRSC:

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.
