A year ago, I set out to identify and examine the corporate donors to @larsenrick's campaigns to help demonstrate the connections between his centrist business-friendly attitudes with the sacks of cash he would receive from industry special interests.
With @CallForCongress challenging Rick again for 2022, I went back to basics and began looking into the donors again, now with greater knowledge of how to sort and analyze the data. What I've come away with is a much deeper understanding of just who is giving @larsenrick money.

Just want to point out that it's literally impossible for the planet to “efficiency” its way to decarbonizing air travel. It's simply not true and in order to facilitate the emissions cuts that are necessary, we would need to convert every single airliner to biofuels—right now.
That isn't just me talking, @larsenrick, that's the International Civil Aviation Organization saying this:
“Achievement of carbon neutral growth at 2020 emissions levels out to 2050 would require nearly complete replacement of petroleum-based jet fuel”.

This is perhaps one of the greatest examples of Rick endorsing positions or using rhetoric only when it's politically safe, convenient, and expedient to do so.
I've been researching Rick's record for months and months now. I can't tell you how many press releases, tweets, C-SPAN clips, articles, and records I've reviewed and let me tell you: this is the FIRST time he's EVER been this forthright about issues impacting people of color.
