Energy and chemical companies and associations are reevaluating their political contributions following last week s riot and attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Dow Inc. and General Electric Co. are vowing not to donate via their political action committees to the 147 House and Senate Republicans who objected to the electoral results from Arizona or Pennsylvania.
