Pfizer shifts more money to Democrats
By James Love, on July 21st, 2009

According to data from OpenSecrets.Org, from 1992 to 2006, Pfizer gave
74 percent of its campaign contributions to Republicans. Since then,
particularly after Hank McKinnell left as CEO, Pfizer is giving slightly
more to democrats than to republicans. In the current cycle, 54 percent
of contributions go to democrats.
