72 people burned to death in England; a large corporation contributed to that; they also contributed to the Republican Governors Association (RGA)

Wonder if the RGA will ever return its blood money.

Not gonna hold my breath while waiting for that to happen. :)

From CBSNews (emphasis added by me) -

Grenfell Tower fire inquiry says U.S. company Arconic "deliberately concealed" dangers of building materials

The public inquiry into the deadly 2017 fire that engulfed Grenfell Tower, a high-rise public housing apartment building in central London, published its final report Wednesday on the disaster that killed 72 people. The blaze — London's deadliest since World War II — was blamed on a litany of failures, from shoddy construction and materials to poor local management and inadequate fire safety standards.

Retired judge Martin Moore-Bick, who headed the inquiry, said all the deaths were avoidable, and that while no single cause could be blamed for the disaster, a number of factors and entities "contributed to it in one way or another, in most cases through incompetence, but in some cases through dishonesty and greed."

In a statement to CBS News on Wednesday, Arconic said it rejected "any claim that AAP [Arconic's subsidiary, Arconic Architectural Products SAS] sold an unsafe product," and insisted it had "regularly conducted tests of its materials using third-party testing bodies."

From the website of the Federal Election Commission (FEC) -

I went looking through FEC records for a direct tie/donation from their PAC to an AZ candidate and didn't find one though there was one tie between AZ and the RGA when Arconic donated to the RGA.

Arconic gave money to the RGA in 2022.

Know who was co-chair of the RGA in 2022?

Former AZ governor Doug Ducey.

In 2022, the RGA spent a LOT of money in efforts to defeat Katie Hobbs.

It didn't work, but it seems some the money spent qualifies as "Ill Gotten Gains."
