US Senate

 

Since 2010 current members of the US Senate have taken in over $2,597,565 in contributions from the tobacco industry.  Two thirds of that or $1,756,090 went to forty six (46) of the 48 (48) Republicans,  $ 792,716 to thirty eight (38) of the forty eight (48) Democrats and $48,759 to two (2) of the three (3) Independents.

The heaviest contributions went to Senators in tobacco growing states (VA, NC, KY, TN) regardless of party.  The only contributions exceeding $100,000 to a Senator from a non-tobacco growing state is to Mitt Romney from UT.
