If donation histories from other politicians I've seen are any indication, it's sad how little these people sell out for. If only they all joined a union, they could leverage their political positions to get much more money out of the corporations.

When it comes to Dave Yost, I don't see anything in the last five years specific to Kroger or Albertsons - not to say they didn't funnel money to his campaign somehow - got about $6,000 from a couple food companies.

Steve Marshall of Alabama fame got $2,000 or so.

Georgia's Chris Carr seems to be an outlier here in that he gets most of his funding from a variety of alcohol distributors and himself to the tune of roughly $400,000.

That leaves us with Tom Miller representing Iowa, by all appearances doesn't get donations from 'big food' but does get consistent donations from Berkshire Hathaway, which I think is strange for a Democrat, but it's probably a normalized oddity.
