SEATTLE — While Washingtonians have been casting ballots and making their voices heard in Tuesday's midterm elections, some of Washington's top corporations have put their money where their interests lie.
Four of Washington's largest public companies, Amazon, Microsoft, T-Mobile and Boeing, have spent a total of $823,075 in political contributions for the midterm elections in Washington state, according to data gathered from the state Public Disclosure Commission. The data doesn't include contributions made to super political action committees, known as super PACs.
These giant companies have combined annual revenues of more than $841 billion as of October. Their financial backing can boost a candidate or a PAC's expenditures and become a factor in who gets elected.
