For questions or media inquiries about this research, please contact Perry Wheeler, [e-mail].

Hillary Clinton’s campaign has been backed by the fossil fuel industry in a number of ways.

First, there are the direct contributions from people working for fossil fuel companies to Clinton’s campaign committee. According to the most recent filings, the committee has received $309,107 (as of March 21, 2016; source: Center for Responsive Politics) from such donors.

Next are the fossil fuel lobbyists, many of whom have also bundled contributions. These donations also flow to Clinton’s campaign committee. Greenpeace has tracked $1,465,610 in bundled and direct donations from lobbyists currently registered as lobbying for the fossil fuel industry. This number excludes donations from lobbyists who are employed directly by a fossil fuel companies, as those donations would have been included in the previous number.

Last are contributions from fossil fuel interests to Super PACs supporting Hillary Clinton. Greenpeace has found $3,250,000 in donations from large donors connected to the fossil fuel industry to Priorities Action USA, a Super PAC supporting Secretary Clinton’s campaign.
All told, the campaign to elect Hillary Clinton for president in 2016 has received more than $4.5 million from lobbyists, bundlers, and large donors connected the fossil fuel industry.

3. No wonder she got so PO'd at that young woman

her association with fossil fuel reeks & her outrageous nasty response to a perfectly reasonable question shows what a handful she is. I would hate to work for her, but she must pay well - a bit more than $12 an hour I'd guess.

7. I have it on good authority (DanTex) that lobbyists only contribute personal funds

12. They are individuals who work at lobbying firms. It's not the firm donating, it's the individual.

There's a huge difference between individual money, which people spend for whatever they want, and corporate money, which business spend in order to increase their profits. It's staggering that so-called "progressives" don't know the difference between people and corporations.

9. Distinction without a difference. And the donors get a little extra in their bonus checks. nm

10. Lobbyists don't even have clients, just incredibly altruistic mentors that give them gifts

to help them out. Lobbying firms have nothing to do with pushing the goals of so called "corporate clients" who are really just nice guys that love to give out free money to impoverished friends many with hobbies regarding roaming he halls of congress because they like architecture and history.

11. I had no idea. And all along I though they were just greedy bastards.
