Frequently Asked Questions

Which employers have the most politically active employees in Maryland?

The top employers in Maryland by employee donations include major local employers, universities, hospitals, and national companies with significant Maryland operations. Together they account for $10.6M in contributions from Maryland-based employees.

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