I tried to track down every dollar that funded the 51 senators who just voted to open the Boundary Waters to mining. Here's what I found.

Yesterday 51 senators voted to advance H.J.Res. 140 -- a resolution to overturn the 20-year moratorium on copper-nickel sulfide mining near the Boundary Waters. 51-49, straight party line. I spent the last 24 hours pulling every FEC record for all 51 of them. I built a page that shows senator's top PAC donors, top individual donors, mining/energy industry connections, and stock trades leading up to the vote: https://civiclens.net/vote/hjres140 Here's what stood out: 12 of the 51 senators took money directly from mining and energy industry PACs or executives $101,500 in identified mining/energy industry donations across the group Mike Lee (R-UT) took $5,000 from the Freeport-McMoRan PAC -- the company that would directly benefit from mining the Boundary Waters John Barrasso (R-WY) took $17,000 from Devon Energy, the American Petroleum Institute, and a Marathon Petroleum executive Jim Justice (R-WV) is worth $664 million and is a former coal mining magnate. He has a direct financial interest in expanding extractive industry access to public lands John Boozman (R-AR) sold shares in a pipeline fund and bought into a commodity strategy fund less than a month before the vote Every senator's full donor list is expandable on the page. The data comes from the FEC API (2025-2026 cycle), Senate roll call records, and public financial disclosures. This is 1.1 million acres of wilderness -- the most visited wilderness area in the country. The page is free, open, no paywall. If you want to know who profited from selling your public land, it's all there. Built with CivicLens -- a civic transparency project that tracks state and federal legislation, campaign finance, and legislator accountability across all 50 states. submitted by /u/splicethingsup [link] [comments]
