Big Oil’s Big Investment in John Sununu

Sununu Has Taken Over $230,000 From the Oil and Gas Industry Over His Career.   Since coming to Congress John Sununu has taken $232,030 from the oil and gas industry.

Sununu Voted for a $5 Billion Tax Break for Big Oil. In May 2006, Sununu voted to provide $5 billion in tax breaks to big oil companies over five years. This money could have been used to provide tax cuts to the middle class that were instead eliminated.
