One year has passed since a violent mob stormed the U.S. Capitol and disrupted the certification of the 2020 presidential election. Though the election results were ultimately affirmed by former Vice President Mike Pence in the e<\/span>arly morning<\/span> hours of Jan. 7, a total of 147 members of Congress — includ<\/span>ing eigh<\/span>t senators — had voted against certifying the election results.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the time, many of the most influential business leaders in the country condemned both the rioters and the lawmakers who voted against certification. Business Roundtable, a group of CEOs from major companies like A<\/span>mazon and Goldma<\/span>n Sachs, released a statement saying: \u201cThe inexcusable violence and chaos at the Capitol makes clear that elected officials\u2019 perpetuation of the fiction of a fraudulent 2020 presidential election is not only reprehensible, but also a danger to our democracy, our society and our country.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Initially, many in the private sector, including some major companies, promised to cut funding to the campaigns of the 147 congressional representatives who voted against the election certification, the so-called \u201cSedition Caucus.\u201d Despite the promises, however, many of these and other companies continue to provide financial support to these members of Congress.<\/span><\/p>\n

Using data compiled by <\/span>Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington<\/span>, 24\/7 Wall St. identified the companies bankrolling the members of Congress who voted not to certify the election. We only included companies that have donated at least $10,000 to the campaigns or political action committees of these lawmakers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The companies on this list span a range of industries, from auto to biotechnology, and from media to finance — and have cumulatively donated millions of dollars to the Sedition Caucus since Jan. 6, 2021. <\/span><\/p>\n
