Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., the top congressional recipient of BP-related campaign cash during the last election cycle, has no plans to return contributions from the company responsible a massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, according to the Center for Responsive Politics' website OpenSecrets.org.Individuals and employees associated with oil giant BP gave nearly $17,000 to Landrieu's campaign committee during the 2008 election cycle, according to a Center for Responsive Politics analysis.
The funds were enough to make her the top recipient to raise money from BP that cycle among candidates running for the U.S. House or U.S. Senate. Only then-Sens. Barack Obama and John McCain, both presidential candidates, raised more from BP."Senator Landrieu has no plans to return donations from BP's PAC or BP employees" Landrieu's communications director Aaron Saunders said in an e-mail message to OpenSecrets Blog.
