Believing that "political contributions help with all sorts of clients, not just those for which the firm does public affairs work," Qorvis Communications [3] recently set up its own political action committee [4]. Other PR firms with federal PACs include Burson-Marsteller [5], Hill & Knowlton [6] and Fleishman-Hillard [7]. The Center for Responsive Politics [8]' database lists which candidates Burson-Marsteller [9] (37% Democrats, 58% Republicans), Hill & Knowlton [10] (48% Dems, 52% Reps) and Fleishman-Hillard [11] (47% Dems, 53% Reps) have supported. Qorvis also contributes to candidates from both major parties; "that balance is important," said their managing director.
