JPMorgan Chase & Co
HEAVY HITTER
JPMorgan Chase is one of the nation’s leading financial
services firms, offering commercial and consumer banking and credit
services, securities brokerage and financial consulting. Like the rest
of the finance sector, the company hit hard financial times in 2008 and
received billions of dollars in taxpayer money to re-gain its footing. hide
Through
its subsidiary Chase Bank, the company has traditionally been one of
the top consumer credit card issuers in the country. As expected, the
firm has lobbied heavily on legislation that would affect the nation’s
financial industry, including bankruptcy reform and banking
deregulation. In 2002, federal investigators launched a probe into the
firm’s relationship with former energy giant Enron. Prior to the energy
firm’s collapse, JPMorgan Chase had been one of the company’s largest
financial backers. During the 2010 election cycle, JPMorgan Chase vowed
to not run political advertisements despite the 2010 decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission that allows corporations to make independent political expenditures.
