Honeywell International Inc.'s PAC funded 19 members of Congress. 6 of them are connected to the company in two more ways.
Honeywell International Inc. — money, a committee seat, and the stock
First, the money: Honeywell's PAC spread $391K across 19 members' campaigns.
Then the access: 6 of those funded members — Wittman, Curtis, Courtney and 3 others — sit on committees including Armed Services and Commerce, Science, and Transportation, with jurisdiction over industrials.
Industrials is Honeywell's industry — and that committee is where its rules, funding, and oversight get written.
And the market: those same 6 members also traded HON — the stock of the company funding their campaigns.
The 6 members
| Member | PAC $ | Gifts | Committee | Trades |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Robert WittmanR-VA | $40k | 17 | Armed Services | 2 |
| John CurtisR-UT | $30k | 19 | Commerce, Science, and Transportation | 3 |
| Joe CourtneyD-CT | $27k | 17 | Armed Services | 2 |
| Jack ReedD-RI | $20k | 9 | Armed Services | 3 |
| Angus KingI-ME | $10k | 3 | Armed Services | 1 |
| Robert BresnahanR-PA | $2k | 1 | Transportation and Infrastructure | 1 |
The other 13 also took PAC money and disclosed HON trades — but hold no current seat on a committee overseeing industrials.
PAC contributions are legal and disclosed. This surfaces co-occurrence of corporate donations, lobbying, and personal stock trades — not evidence of coordination or quid pro quo.
