RICHMOND — Energy giant Dominion continues to invest heavily in an alternate form of power in Virginia: political power.
The corporation gave $100,000 to the Democratic Party of Virginia in a lump sum check dated June 14, according to the Virginia Public Access Project, a nonpartisan tracker of money in state politics. VPAP said it is the largest single donation since 1997 made by the corporation to a Virginia campaign committee or candidate.
Previously the company had donated $50,000 each to the inaugural committees of Gov. Terry McAuliffe and former Govs. Bob McDonnell and Timothy M. Kaine, according to VPAP.
“The $100,000 to the Virginia Democratic Party is part of our support for the national Democratic convention in Philadelphia,” said Dominion spokesman Ryan Frazier.
