Toyota backs off donations to lawmakers opposed to 2020 results

Toyota is reversing its decision to continue making donations to lawmakers who voted against certification of the 2020 election results, announcing it will no longer make such contributions.

Toyota said in a press release that his PAC “also supports Democratic and Republicans running for Congress,” and noted that the vast majority of this year’s contributions went to lawmakers in each party who supported certification of the November results.

“We understand that the PAC’s decision to back some members of Congress who disputed the results troubled some stakeholders,” the automaker said. “We are actively listening to our stakeholders and, for now, we have decided to stop contributing to members of Congress who challenged the certification of some states in the 2020 elections.”

Several companies have said they will not donate to members of Congress who opposed the Electoral College results on January 6 following the Capitol riots.

At the end of last month, Toyota came under fire after Axios announced it had donated $ 55,000 to 37 Republican lawmakers who opposed it.

The company said at the time “We do not think it is appropriate to judge members of Congress solely on the basis of their votes on electoral certification.”

The anti-Trump group GOP the Lincoln Project Thursday announced a strategy to “fight the Sedition Caucus and its enablers”, specifically calling for Toyota’s donation.

“The Lincoln Project will not stand idly by while companies like Toyota – companies that have benefited from the economic strength and freedom of the United States – give money to the politicians who work to overthrow this same system.” said group co-founder Reed Galen.
