NRA Gave These Nine Senators Over $22 Million

From ReverbPress:

Here’s the chart which shows the lobbying group’s spending on their nine favorite Senators broken down by direct campaign contributions, independent spending (PACs and other groups), and independent spending against their opponents. For details, move your mouse over the parts of the chart that interest you. As the small and barely-visible slivers of blue show, the NRA pays very little in direct campaign contributions.

The lion’s share of the direct and indirect contributions from the NRA — a total of $22,596,399 — went to just nine senators:

Mitch McConnell (R-KY): $1,262,189

Roy Blunt (R-MO): $1,433,952

Pat Roberts (R-KS): $1,584,153

Tom Cotton (R-AR): $1,968,714

David Perdue (R-GA): $1,997,512

Bill Cassidy (R-LA): $2,867,074

Joni Ernst (R-IA): $3,124,773

Cory Gardner (R-CO): $3,939,199

Thom Tillis (R-NC): $4,418,833
