ConocoPhillips's political action committee spread $78K across 7 members of Congress. 34 itemized contributions, all disclosed.
ConocoPhillips — campaign money into Congress
The members ConocoPhillips's PAC gave to: Westerman, Mullin, McCaul, Newhouse and 3 others.
Over the same window, ConocoPhillips reported $18.8M in federal lobbying — the larger of its two money tracks into Washington.
3 of these 7 members also sit on a committee with jurisdiction over ConocoPhillips's sector — the money, the trade, and the committee seat all line up.
