Frequently Asked Questions

Which employers have the most politically active employees in Connecticut?

The top employers in Connecticut by employee donations include major local employers, universities, hospitals, and national companies with significant Connecticut operations. Together they account for $7.4M in contributions from Connecticut-based employees.

What is the difference between the state total and national total columns?

The Connecticut Total column shows only donations from employees located in Connecticut. The National Total shows the employer's aggregate donations from all states. This helps you see how much of a company's political giving comes from its Connecticut workforce.

Do these donations represent the employer's official position?

No. These are individual contributions from employees, not corporate donations. Federal law prohibits direct corporate contributions to candidates. Employee political activity does not necessarily reflect the employer's official stance.
