22. Hallmark Asks Sens. Hawley and Marshall to Return Donations Over Post-Riot Election Challenges
Mon Jan 11, 2021, 09:22 PM
Jan 2021

Hallmark, based in Kansas City, Missouri, has asked Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley and Kansas Sen. Roger Marshall to return its political donations.

"HALLPAC, Hallmark's political action committee, supports elected leaders from a wide variety of viewpoints–including Democrats, Republicans and Independents," said a statement from a Hallmark representative.

The statement continued: "Hallmark believes the peaceful transition of power is part of the bedrock of our democratic system, and we abhor violence of any kind. The recent actions of Senators Josh Hawley and Roger Marshall do not reflect our company's values. As a result, HALLPAC requested Sens. Hawley and Marshall to return all HALLPAC campaign contributions."

In the last two years, according to the representative, HALLPAC donated $7,000 to Hawley and $5,000 Marshall.
