Dominion Energy PAC made a donation of $30,000 on June 14, 2023, to the Morrissey for State Senate 16 Committee. Dominion Energy, a major utility provider operating across Virginia, maintains a political action committee that supports candidates through contributions reported to state election authorities. Joe Morrissey represented Virginia’s 16th Senate District, which covers parts of the Richmond and Petersburg areas, during his tenure in the state Senate from 2020 to 2024. Dominion Energy has a substantial presence in the commonwealth as an employer and provider of electric services to hundreds of thousands of customers.

The company has disclosed its political contributions through filings with the Virginia Department of Elections and the Virginia Public Access Project. Records show that Morrissey’s committee received a total of $217,019 from Dominion Energy across multiple contributions. Dominion Energy PAC has directed funds to numerous other Virginia candidates and committees in recent cycles.

The utility’s contributions have also gone to various Democratic candidates and leadership committees. Dominion Energy’s political participation aligns with its role in maintaining energy infrastructure and reliability for Virginia residents and businesses. The company’s PAC reports detail contributions aimed at supporting policies that facilitate operations in the regulated utility sector. Virginia election records confirm the scale of Dominion Energy’s involvement in state races, with millions directed to candidates across the political spectrum in recent years.

These contributions occur amid ongoing discussions about energy policy, rate cases before the State Corporation Commission, and infrastructure investments by the utility. Dominion Energy has published its own summaries of political contributions and lobbying activities on its corporate website, emphasizing compliance with applicable laws. The June 2023 donation to the Morrissey committee forms part of broader patterns of support from the PAC to Virginia political entities focused on legislative matters affecting utilities.
