Insurance and securities industry money accounts for roughly one out of every five dollars the Republican incumbent has received.
The securities and investment industry has also placed $189,600 in the campaign war chest of Nevada member Joe Heck, who is running in one of the costliest Senate contests this year. He and his likely Democratic opponent, Catherine Cortez Masto, are the runaway favorites to get their parties’ nods in the June primary and have each raised over $5.5 million from all sources.
Hedge fund Elliott Management is Heck’s largest individual contributor with $33,400.
Elliott Management also has given $48,400 to New York’s Elise Stefanik, who sits on the House Education and the Workforce Committee.
Stefanik has also received $199,188 from the securities and investment industry and $68,080 from the insurance industry.
The securities and investment industry has also contributed $30,108 to Virginia’s Dave Brat, $89,750 to Florida’s Carlos Curbelo and $31,460 to Georgia’s Rick Allen.
Money from the insurance industry or from the securities and investment industries is not among either the top five individual or industry contributors for nine of the 22 Republican committee members running for re-election.
Kline personally has taken in no anti-fiduciary dollars because the six-term Minnesota representative is not running for re-election. Nor is Arizona member Matt Salmon.
