Campaign finance data reveals thousands of dollars in campaign contributions over the last ten years from rail carrier political action committees (PACs) to the sole Democratic senator who voted against giving rail workers paid sick leave.
According to data from OpenSecrets.org, Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.V., has received at least $90,000 in campaign contributions from the nation's top railroad PACs, including those of BNSF Railway, Union Pacific, Norfolk Southern, CSX, and the Association of American Railroads since 2012.
