From the article:
In campaign donations, the Daily News found that $504,100 has flowed into the coffers of U.S. Senate and House campaigns in Ohio since 2004, coming from the employees and PACs of General Dynamics, Northrop Grumman and L-3 Communications.
Nationwide, employees and PACs of these three companies have contributed $15.5 million to campaigns since 2004.
The biggest Ohio recipient is Marcy Kaptur, D-Toledo, who sits on the influential defense subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee. She has received $66,000 in campaign contributions from these companies since 2004.
Interesting....Marcy is no military expert yet she gets the most cash.
