STAT+: UnitedHealth executives shower high-ranking Democrat with donations ahead of midterms

UnitedHealth Group executives and board members contributed a combined total of over $100,000 to Rep. Katherine Clark's campaign, according to a STAT analysis of federal records. Stephen Hemsley, the company's CEO, and his wife, Barbara, led the donations with $7,000 each. Hemsley, worth almost $1 billion, is the highest individual contributor among UnitedHealth officials.

No other federal politician received as much from UnitedHealth employees during this election cycle, with the closest being Sen. Mike Crapo, who is not up for reelection.
