Many have viewed corporate political activity with skepticism, if not suspicion. In 2021, companies faced a combination of surprises and scrutiny that made their political activity exponentially more difficult . . . and 2022 promises to be equally, if not more, challenging.
In this podcast, Paul Washington, Executive Director of the ESG Center, speaks with experts, Adie Olsen and Jason Abel, Partners at Steptoe and Johnson, and Bruce Freed, President of the Center for Political Accountability, to address some of the myths and misunderstandings about corporate political activity, the challenges corporate PACs, company political contributions, and lobbying faced last year, as well as what to expect in the mid-term election year of 2022.
