The original article has been corrected. The author has requested to change:

Individual companies are also the major political actors. Exxon, for instance, has spent roughly $17 million on US federal political campaigns and over $240 million on lobbying since 2000. Over that same time, Tyson gave $3.2 million to political campaigns. But taken as a share of each company’s total revenue over that period, Tyson has spent double what Exxon has on political campaigns and 33% more on lobbying.

Individual companies are also the major political actors. Exxon, for instance, has spent roughly $17 million on US federal political campaigns from 2000–2018 while Tyson gave $3.2 million to political campaigns over that same time. In terms of lobbying, Exxon spent more than $235 million on lobbying between 2001–2018, while Tyson spent more than $25 million (lobbying data were missing for Tyson for 2000). Nevertheless, taken as a share of each company’s total revenue over those time periods, Tyson has spent more than double what Exxon has on political campaigns and 21% more on lobbying.
