Carper received $32,700 in campaign contributions from companies his committee has jurisdiction over

Senator Tom Carper (D., Del.) has significant stock holdings in energy companies that fall under the jurisdiction of the Environment and Public Works Committee, where he is ranking member.

Carper has said he will oppose the nomination of Michael Dourson to the Environmental Protection Agency over his ties to industry, though Carper holds up to $685,000 in energy stock and received over $30,000 in campaign contributions so far this cycle from companies his committee has authority over.

Dourson, who was nominated by President Donald Trump to be assistant administrator for the Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention at the EPA, is a professor in the Risk Science Center at the University of Cincinnati. He worked for the EPA for 15 years starting as a toxicologist before founding the Toxicology Excellence for Risk Assessment (TERA) nonprofit corporation.
