Big Campaign Cash for Clinton from Monsanto Lobbyist

February 1, 2016 by Carey Gillam

A Monsanto Co. lobbyist, who is seen as Hillary Clinton’s “main man” in Iowa, was among the top financial bundlers of contributions to benefit Hillary Clinton’s run for the White House in the most recent quarter, new Federal Election Commission reports show.

Jerry Crawford ...is senior adviser to Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign.....

His firm listed Monsanto as a client in the most recent quarter, reporting $60,000 in lobbying income from Monsanto. Monsanto is known as one of the nation’s most powerful corporations, and is currently engaged in a range of public policy debates over regulation of its genetically modified crops and top herbicide product, Roundup.

Another Monsanto lobbyist, Steve Elmendorf ......also does work for the Grocery Manufacturers Association, which has been battling against mandatory labeling laws for foods made with GMOs.....
