MapLight has conducted an analysis of campaign contributions from companies and organizations to the sitting members of Congress from each state.
In collaboration with Tableau Public, MapLight has presented this research data in a visualization, displaying logos of each state’s “owner,” making it possible to see which groups are seeking to influence members of Congress across the country.
Clicking the logo on a state will show the top five contributing organizations to all members of Congress from that state.
Companies Listed as a Top 5 Contributing Organization in the Most Individual States
EMILY's - $2,735,595

You'd think that bailey but it's actually AT&T and Lockheed Martin, based on this research data. I was surprised myself because I'm in Texas as well.
