Despite his attempts to throw out President Joe Biden s electors, several corporate PACs gave tens of thousands last quarter to his group â including some PACs that pledged not to.
The National Republican Senatorial Committee, which Scott chairs, disclosed its finances on Tuesday for the first three months of 2021 to the Federal Election Commission. It reported receiving more than $750,000 in contributions from political action committees associated with corporations and trade associations.

The Arizona Corporation Commission and energy companies are maintaining a “business as usual” strategy in the pursuit of clean energy and energy reliability in Arizona, despite twin bills looking to strip the ACC’s power.
House Bill 2248, sponsored by Rep. Gail Griffin (R-Sierra Vista), would bar the Arizona Corporation Commission’s from adopting or enforcing policy that regulates electrical generation resources acquired by public service corporations (PSCs) without specific legislative authority. The bill passed the House on a vote of 31-28, with one “no vote” and will go to vote in Senate Appropriations.
The twin bill in the Senate (SB 1175), sponsored by Sen. Sine Kerr, is waiting for a vote from the full Senate.
