Alice Walton is a mixed bag politically. In 2008, she donated 25K to a Hillary Clinton PAC. Alice doesn't have a dedicated political party.

Samuel, Lukas, and another Walton (their first name escapes me at the moment) are big time Democratic donors and have donated to Joe Biden.

I will add links sometime after 1pm Est. I'm on my phone at the moment.


2:47PM Edit Update:
FEC Alice L Walton Contributions. Alice's PAC donations to Hillary Clinton is the last one on the page.

The other Walton that supports Democrats that the name escaped me is Christy Walton. https://www.forbes.com/sites/walterloeb/2020/10/07/walmarts-political-dichotomy-is-no-surprise/?sh=38cc57572981rting

Also, in some smaller communities Walmart is the only choice people have to shop at.
