JetBlue PAC donation to election objector spurs boycott calls
Contribution marked end of pause after Jan. 6 Capitol attack April 9, 2021 3:24 PM By Shaun Courtney (Updates with National Association of Business Political Action Committees comment in second to last paragraph.)
JetBlue Airways Corp. is standing by its donation to a lawmaker who objected to the presidential vote certification in January despite calls on social media for a boycott.
The airline became the first company to end its pause on donations to lawmakers who objected to the Electoral College vote count. It made a $1,000 contribution from its corporate political action committee to Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-N.Y.), a member of the House panel that oversees aviation.
