Virginia Natural Gas PAC Donates to Hampton Roads Business Roundtable PAC

Virginia Natural Gas Political Action Committee transferred $5,000 to the Hampton Roads Business Roundtable PAC on July 17, 2026. The donation adds to ongoing financial ties between the natural gas entity and the regional business group focused on economic development in Hampton Roads. Records show Virginia Natural Gas PAC has directed funds to multiple recipients across party lines in recent cycles.

Virginia Natural Gas PAC has contributed to the Democratic Party of Virginia in the amount of $15,000. Additional donations from the PAC include support for Delegate Don Scott and other Democratic figures in the state legislature. The same PAC has also provided contributions to Republican recipients such as Delegate Todd Gilbert and the House Republican Campaign Committee.

The Hampton Roads Business Roundtable PAC, the recipient of the latest donation, maintains a pattern of expenditures to various Virginia candidates. Its past outlays include $20,000 to Delegate Don Scott, $15,000 to Senator Louise Lucas, and $15,000 to Senator Mamie Locke. Further payments from the roundtable PAC have gone to Delegate Luke Torian and Delegate Ryan McDougle.

Virginia Natural Gas PAC lists Southern Company Gas among its primary funding sources along with other industry entities. These upstream contributors enable the PAC to engage in state-level political giving. The roundtable PAC in turn draws support from major regional corporations and individuals active in Hampton Roads business circles.

The $5,000 donation places Virginia Natural Gas PAC in a position of indirect association with the roundtable PAC recipients. Those recipients encompass elected officials whose legislative records include actions on taxation, regulation, and spending that have drawn opposition from Republican lawmakers. By channeling resources through the roundtable PAC, the natural gas donor extends potential backing to the full spectrum of candidates supported by that group.

Virginia Natural Gas PAC maintains a broad portfolio of contributions that spans both major parties in Virginia. This approach includes direct payments to Democratic Party structures and individual Democratic officeholders alongside Republican recipients. The recent transfer to the Hampton Roads Business Roundtable PAC continues this established pattern of diversified political support.
