Controversial Donation and Endorsement by U.S. Chamber of Commerce

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce received an $800,000 donation from billionaire Hank Meijer shortly after endorsing his son, Peter Meijer, for a contentious primary. The donation was used for an ad supporting Peter Meijer without explicitly advocating for his election. Campaign finance experts suggest this highlights the issue of 'dark money' in elections.
