Who donates to Craig and thus benefits through his votes?
(Remember, Civic Watchdog always provides the receipts)
Energy Donors
While Craig’s touts his efforts to reduce energy costs and protect us from data centers, he continually takes money from a vast array of corporate energy PACs (Political Action Committees). You can click on “Energy Donors” above to see a small sampling of the corporate energy PACs donating to Craig.
Jen Panaro, of Connect Chadds Ford, has done an exceptional job digging into the details of his “bring your own energy” bill and his stance towards saving us from our PECO bill. Check out her blog, Connect Chadds Ford!
The Billionaires
Craig has several billionaire donors, including Jeffrey Yass, the infamous mainline school privatization activist, hedge fund founder, and ballroom donor mogul. In 2020, Jeffrey Yass’s personal PAC, the Commonwealth Children’s Choice fund, donated $47,000 to Craig’s campaign. More recently, the brother of the Ridge Road developer, Vernon Hill, donated $15,000 to Craig. You can learn more about these two oligarchs by clicking on “The Billionaires” above.
Does he really support CWA?
Craig claims to support Chester Water Authority, but notoriously only shows support during election years. More importantly, he has taken a total of $4400 from Pennsylvania American Water PAC since he was elected.
