Politico: Blunt receives $310,000 in bundled donations from tourism interests

Politico notes that Seventh District Congressman Roy Blunt, a U. S. Senate candidate, has received $310,000 in bundled donations from tourism interests:

For instance, Blunt, who is seeking the GOP Senate nomination in Missouri, has for years pushed bills supported by the travel and tourism industry. He has sponsored a tax deduction for spouses tagging along on business-related trips and a separate bill to promote international travel to the United States.

While Blunt sponsored such measures, a variety of hotel and travel corporations, including Marriott and Hilton, helped lead the way in bundling donations for the congressman. In the first six months of last year, Blunt reported $310,000 in bundled donations — the most of any Senate candidate in that time span.
