Earlier this month, following the violent storming of the
U.S. Capitol, the tech giant had paused all political contributions to reassess
its policies toward political contribution.
"Following that review, the NetPAC board has decided
that it will not be making any contributions this cycle to any member of
Congress who voted against certification of the election results," a
Google representative said in a statement.
Hundreds of former President Donald Trump's supporters
stormed the halls of Congress on Jan. 6 in a bid to overturn his election
defeat, battling police in the hallways and delaying the certification of
President Joe Biden's victory for hours.
Following the incident, Republicans in Congress faced
blowback from several corporate firms who paused campaign donations and said
they were reviewing their policies.
Amazon.com Inc, AT&T Inc, Comcast Corp , Verizon
Communications Inc are among the many big companies who have threatened to
throttle fundraising resources for Republicans.
AT&T and Comcast, for example, are among the biggest
corporate donors in Washington.
