Auto industry shows Oregon lawmakers little campaign contribution love

The auto industy has been somewhat stingy toward Oregon lawmakers when it comes to campaign contributions, according to a report from the Center for Responsive Politics.

Not one Oregonian was listed among the top 20 of recipients of auto industry campaign contributions. Outgoing U.S. Sen.

U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Portland) has also received $14,200 from the “Big Three.” U.S. Senator-elect Jeff Merkley (D-Portland) received $2,000. U.S. Reps. Greg Walden (R-Hood River), David Wu (D-Portland), Earl Blumenauer (D-Portland), and Darlene Hooley (D-West Linn) also received contributions totaling less than $10,000.

The industry gave to 358 candidates. Their contributions for the 2008 cycle totaled $16,063,956. Currently, they are asking for a $34 billion bailout.

U.S. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz) topped the list, receiving $1,101,552 from the industry. He was followed by former presidential candidate Mitt Romney, who received $468,580. Romney was followed by President-elect Barack Obama, who received $432,050, then former presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani who received $369,666. U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) rounded out the top five, receiving $302,566.
