I have qualms about political contributions and the impact it might have but it would be wrong to consider all political contributions identified all the same within an industry. Something that many don't understand probably because the organizations that aggregate the data like OpenSecrets don't do a very good job of identifying how it is done.

I did a post about this related to Big Pharma. That industry could include Pharma execs, lab techs, secretaries, janitors, local CVS or Walgreens sales clerks, and many others.
