The actual money used by the corporate entity Equifax toward election campaigning is unknowable thanks to Citizens United - for example, Equifax could independently fund as many attack ads against as many political candidates as it would like, without reporting any of that spending to the FEC, as long as it does not coordinate with candidate committees. Even if we assume there is no additional benefit to a candidate aside from the $1k contribution on paper, keep in mind most of this comes from Equifax employees with individual contribution limits - note that the CEO and every VP/high exec contribute the maximum $2700/$5000 limit each cycle. https://www.fec.gov/data/receipts/?cycle=2018&data_type=proc... |
