With just a few weeks to go before the Nov. 5 elections—and the control of the White House and both houses of Congress at stake—construction industry groups, companies and labor unions are contributing tens of millions of dollars in campaign contributions into the coffers of their favored candidates.
According to the Center for Responsive Politics’ Open Secrets database, the construction sector had contributed $122.5 million in this election cycle, as of Sept. 22. The cycle extends for months beyond Election Day.
