PoliStack Intelligence Brief — May 15, 2026
H.R. 8330 & S. 4340: A Coordinated House–Senate Liability Shield for Big Oil
On April 16, 2026, Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) introduced identical bills in their chambers to immunize fossil-fuel companies from “climate damage” lawsuits. The Senate bill is branded the Stop Climate Shakedowns Act. This brief connects the dots between the bill text, the cosponsors, the trade associations whose member companies wrote the rule, and the PAC money flowing into every signature on it.

Executive summary
A 15-minute read on who is writing H.R. 8330, who is paying for it, and why now
This brief is an evidence-based investigation into a coordinated House–Senate legislative push to immunize fossil-fuel companies from “climate damages” lawsuits. It traces the bill's text to the trade-association policy platforms that asked for it, follows campaign-finance dollars from those trade associations' member-company PACs into the sponsors' and cosponsors' campaign committees, then drills down to the named individual executives, lobbyists, and donors who are personally bankrolling both ends of the pipeline. Every claim is sourced to FEC, Congress.gov, Senate LDA, or the trade associations' own published positions.
⚡ Headline findings
- Same day, same text, two chambers. On April 16, 2026, Rep. Hageman (R-WY) introduced H.R. 8330 and Sen. Cruz (R-TX) introduced S. 4340 — operatively identical bills preempting state and local climate-tort lawsuits against any energy company in the supply chain. The Senate version carries the industry-branded title “Stop Climate Shakedowns Act of 2026.”
- All 11 signers are Republican, mostly from oil/extraction states. Hageman (WY) and Cruz (TX) sponsor; Gosar (AZ), Crenshaw (TX), Stauber (MN-Iron Range), B. Moore (AL), Collins (GA), Williams (TX), Budd (NC), Cotton (AR), and Lee (UT) cosponsor. Zero bipartisan support.
- $37.6M in PAC money has flowed to these 11 members in 2022–2026. Trade-association-member PACs alone account for $1.0M+ of that (AFPM-attributed $805K, API-attributed $231K, NAM-attributed $335K — exclusive totals after deduplication).
- The lobbying spend is ~14× the PAC money. AFPM, API, NAM, and the 30 largest member companies in this analysis reported $549M in LDA-disclosed lobbying spend over the same 2022–2026 period. AFPM alone spent $47M; API $31M; NAM $42M. Top-spending member companies include Occidental Petroleum ($51M), Koch Industries ($49M), Honeywell ($47M), ConocoPhillips ($39M), ExxonMobil ($38M), Chevron ($36M), and Shell USA ($32M).
- The K Street lobbying overlap is dense. 668 federally-registered lobbyists personally gave $1.67M to these 11 members, with the same K Street firms — Miller Strategies, BGR, Cassidy & Associates, S-3 Group, Crossroads Strategies, Capitol Counsel — appearing repeatedly. These firms' published client lists include AFPM, API, ExxonMobil, Chevron, Koch Industries, Valero, Marathon, Enterprise Products, and Cheniere Energy.
- The same individuals are funding both ends. The CEO of the American Petroleum Institute, the CEO of Chevron, the head of government affairs at Koch Industries, and the CEO of Alliance Resource Partners all personally wrote checks to the senators carrying their bill — and separately funded their company's corporate PAC. We identified 18 such dual-channel donors and 21 energy-industry executives donating directly.
- This bill mirrors stated trade-association policy. AFPM's Regulatory Reform agenda, API's Climate Liability litigation strategy (visible in amicus briefs in Honolulu v. Sunoco, Boulder v. Suncor, Massachusetts v. ExxonMobil), and NAM's Manufacturers' Accountability Project all explicitly argue for federal preemption of state climate-tort suits — exactly what this bill does.

The Bill
What H.R. 8330 actually does
A short, sweeping bill that would block all civil litigation seeking damages or injunctive relief against companies that mine, extract, refine, transport, market, manufacture, or sell energy “for damages or injunctive or other relief from the use of their products.” In plain English: it pre-empts the wave of state and municipal lawsuits seeking damages from oil & gas companies for climate-change-related harms.
Plain-language summary
The bill would prohibit lawsuits — federal, state, tribal, or local — that seek to hold any entity in the energy supply chain liable for damages “from the use of their products.” That language explicitly targets:
- Climate damages suits currently filed in at least 30 states, counties, and municipalities (e.g., Hawaii, Boulder CO, Multnomah County OR, NJ, MN, RI, MA, DE) seeking billions for sea-level rise, wildfire, and storm-recovery costs.
- Injunctive relief (e.g., orders to disclose climate risk, ratchet down emissions, fund mitigation).
- The entire midstream and downstream — pipelines, refiners, marketers, retailers — not just upstream producers.
Senate companion S. 4340 is titled the “Stop Climate Shakedowns Act of 2026” — the framing language the industry has used for these lawsuits since at least 2018.
Why this bill, why now
Three converging pressures explain the April 2026 introduction:
- State-court losses. In 2024–2025 the Supreme Court declined to hear industry appeals in multiple climate-tort cases, leaving them in state court where industry is more likely to lose discovery fights.
- Honolulu trial track. The Honolulu v. Sunoco case moved to merits discovery in early 2026 — the first U.S. climate-deception trial inching toward fact-finding.
- API/AFPM industry strategy memo (leaked 2023). Trade groups identified a federal pre-emption statute as the highest-leverage backstop if state-court strategy failed.
The April 16 simultaneous House+Senate filing — same date, identical text, paired with the Cruz-branded “Stop Climate Shakedowns” title — is the operational signature of a coordinated industry-led drop.

Senate fundraising scales
Trade-association money
How much of that money came from AFPM, API, and NAM member-company PACs?
AFPM, API, and NAM don't themselves write campaign checks of any size to most members — their own association PACs are modest. But their member companies run their own corporate PACs, and those flow money in concert with the trade association's policy agenda. Below: the dollar total reaching each sponsor/cosponsor through corporate PACs of confirmed AFPM/API/NAM members.
Dollars given to each sponsor/cosponsor's principal campaign committee by corporate PACs of confirmed AFPM members, 2022–2026 cycles. Matching is conservative — only verified corporate-PAC names are counted.
AFPM PAC's own giving
The American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers Association PAC (AFPMPAC, FEC C00415026) has given direct max-out contributions to 6 of 11 signers in 2022–2026 — including the Senate sponsor.
| Recipient | From AFPM PAC |
|---|---|
| Cruz, Ted | $10,000 |
| Stauber, Pete | $9,000 |
| Crenshaw, Dan | $5,000 |
| Lee, Mike | $3,500 |
| Williams, Roger | $2,500 |
| Collins, Mike | $2,000 |
API PAC direct giving to Hageman
The American Petroleum Institute PAC (API PAC, FEC C00483677) is a TradeAssociationPAC tagged in the FEC graph. It gave Hageman directly in two cycles:
- API PAC → Hageman$3,500 (2024, 2026)
API also gave to: Cruz, Cotton, Williams, Crenshaw, Budd, Stauber, Lee — across both cycles.
NAM's indirect channel
NAM does not run a major federal PAC. Its policy footprint shows up via member companies — ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips, Shell, BP, Continental Resources, EQT, Energy Transfer, Koch — whose corporate PACs collectively gave $916K to the 11 signers, 2022–2026.
Numbers in the chart above show exclusive totals after deduplication: each company is attributed to exactly one association by priority AFPM → API → NAM, so the same dollar flow is never counted twice. (Many companies are members of two or three of these associations simultaneously.)
The OTHER money — lobbying spend
Direct LDA-reported lobbying spend: $548.6M over the same period
Campaign contributions are the visible end of industry influence. The much larger flow is lobbying spend — what trade associations and energy companies actually pay law firms, consultants, and in-house lobbyists to push legislation. For context, the bill signers' combined campaign-PAC haul of $37.6M is dwarfed by what AFPM, API, NAM, and their largest members spend each year on lobbying.

Interpretation note. Lobbying spend is the upstream “soft power” of industry influence: the legal, drafting, regulatory-comment, and direct-advocacy work that produces bill language, hearing testimony, amicus briefs, and regulatory comments. Campaign contributions are the downstream visibility — they bind specific legislators to the agenda the lobbying spend is already shaping. The fact that AFPM ($47M), API ($31M), and NAM ($42M) together spent $120M over 5 years on lobbying — while the same period's PAC contributions from their member companies to these 11 bill signers totaled roughly $1.4M (~1.2% as much) — is the standard industry ratio: pay primarily for policy work, then a small fraction for politician maintenance.
Where they stand
What AFPM, API, and NAM publicly advocate for
Issues / stance pulled from each association's own policy pages. This section helps the reader judge whether the H.R. 8330 / S. 4340 bill text is consistent with stated organizational priorities — which it overwhelmingly is.
AFPM — Refining and petrochemical industry trade association.
American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers
Mission: Advocates for public policies that promote growth and investment in the refining and petrochemical manufacturing industries.
Connection to H.R. 8330 / S. 4340:
AFPM and its members are the principal beneficiaries of H.R. 8330 / S. 4340. The bill's text — preempting liability “from the use of their products” — uses framing AFPM has championed in op-eds and white papers since 2018. The Cruz bill's short title (“Stop Climate Shakedowns Act”) matches AFPM messaging exactly.API — Trade association for the entire U.S. oil and natural gas industry.
American Petroleum Institute
Mission: Represents all segments of America's natural gas and oil industry, which supports 11 million U.S. jobs.
Connection to H.R. 8330 / S. 4340:
API has lobbied directly on climate-liability preemption legislation since at least 2018, when it co-founded the “Energy Reform Now” coalition. API PAC has given to 7 of the 11 H.R. 8330 / S. 4340 signers, and API member companies (ExxonMobil, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Shell, BP, Marathon, Phillips 66, Valero) collectively account for the largest share of trade-association-member PAC dollars to these 11 members.NAM — Largest manufacturing trade association in the U.S. (~14,000 member companies).
National Association of Manufacturers
Mission: The most effective resource and influential advocate for manufacturers — represents manufacturers from every industrial sector.
Connection to H.R. 8330 / S. 4340:
NAM's Manufacturers' Accountability Project (MAP) has been the lead trade-association voice arguing for federal preemption of state climate-damage suits since 2017. NAM member companies — including ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips, Shell, EQT, Continental Resources, Energy Transfer, and Koch — overlap heavily with AFPM/API rosters. NAM is the trade association most explicitly aligned with the legal-strategy goal of H.R. 8330 / S. 4340.Visualizing the flow

Total to bill signers = sum across the 11 sponsors/cosponsors' principal committees, 2022–2026 cycles, from the company's federally-registered corporate PAC. Member rosters are filtered to companies operating in the energy supply chain (upstream / midstream / downstream / refining / chemicals / utilities / mining / nuclear). Non-energy industries (pharma, tech, consulting, consumer goods) are excluded.
The people behind the dollars
The power behind the trade associations: individual executives writing personal checks
Corporate PACs are powerful, but the deepest signal of industry alignment is when the same individuals who run the energy companies also write personal checks to the senators carrying their bill. Below: AFPM/API/NAM member-company CEOs, board members, and government-affairs heads who personally contributed to the 11 bill signers — and, in the second table, the dual-channel donors who fund both an energy corporate PAC and the politicians directly. This is the pattern that turns trade-association support from an abstraction into a name-and-amount roster.

🔁 Dual-channel donors: same individual funds both the corporate PAC and the politicians
When a single person writes one check to (say) Koch's corporate PAC and another check to Cruz's campaign committee, that's a dual-channel donation — the strongest behavioral signal of coordinated industry support. Below: every individual we identified giving $500+ to both an energy-industry corporate PAC and at least one of the 11 bill signers.

Sponsor deep dive
Where Hageman's PAC money is actually coming from
Hageman raised ~$1.56M total for the 2024 cycle (~$1.42M of which came from PACs over 2022–2026). She is a House member from a state with a single at-large seat, so the donor list is comparatively small (229 PACs) but heavily concentrated in extractive industries.

Independent expenditures supporting Hageman
Outside money is where the larger numbers live. Six super PACs spent on her behalf — almost all during the 2022 Cheney-defeat primary, with limited 2024/2026 activity:
- WYOMING VALUES$803,536(2022)
- AMERICANS KEEPING COUNTRY FIRST$331,158(2022)
- CLUB FOR GROWTH ACTION$313,843(2022)
- HOUSE FREEDOM ACTION$230,204(2022)
- PROTECT FREEDOM PAC$110,000
- CONSERVATIVES FOR A STRONG AMERICA PAC$97,108(2022)
Independent expenditure reports filed with the FEC. The 2022 number is unusually concentrated because the Cheney-Hageman primary was nationalized.
The picture
Connecting the dots
What the data shows when you put it side-by-side
- The bill is a trade-association product, not a one-member crusade. Identical text dropped the same day in both chambers, with the Senate version carrying the industry-marketing title ("Stop Climate Shakedowns Act"). That kind of coordination requires either (a) a single law firm or trade-association staff drafting both versions, or (b) advance coordination between Hageman's and Cruz's legislative directors. Neither happens by accident.
- The signers are not a random Republican sample. All 11 are R; eight come from oil-or-extraction states (WY, TX, AZ, MN-Iron Range, AL, GA refining corridor, NC, UT, AR). The composition matches AFPM's geographic membership base almost perfectly.
- AFPM PAC itself only gave $32,000 across these 11 members. That's small. But AFPM member-company PACs gave roughly $1.27M, API member-company PACs gave $821K, and NAM member-company PACs gave $916K. The trade-association PAC is a coordinating signal, not the actual money pipe.
- Hageman's lobbyist donor file confirms the alignment. 64 federally-registered lobbyists personally wrote checks to her between 2022 and 2025 — 34 of them work at firms with identified energy-industry clients (see the Lobbyists section). The list includes in-house lobbyists for Cameco (uranium), Liquid Energy Pipeline Association, AES, IPAA, and Chenega — the same playbook visible across the Cruz, Cotton, Budd, and Lee lobbyist files.
- Across all 11 signers, ~1,650 lobbyist contributions totaling ~$1.67M flowed through LDA-registered channels. Cruz received the most lobbyist money ($521K from 223 lobbyists); Budd was second ($391K from 246 lobbyists). The pattern of which lobbying firms appear repeatedly — Miller Strategies, BGR, Cassidy & Associates, S-3 Group, Crossroads Strategies, Capitol Counsel — is the relationship map the legislators rely on for both campaign cash and policy-staff support.
- The same people who run the energy companies are writing personal checks to these senators. Michael Sommers (CEO of the American Petroleum Institute itself) gave $10,100 directly to Cruz + Cotton in 2022–2026, while also giving $15,000 to API PAC. Michael Wirth (CEO of Chevron) gave $3,300 to Cruz personally on top of $25,000 to API PAC. Paul Rady (Antero Resources) gave $51,159 across Cruz, Lee, Cotton, and Budd directly.
- Dual-channel giving is the smoking gun. We identified 18 individuals who wrote checks to both an energy-industry corporate PAC (API PAC, IPAA Wildcatters, COALPAC, Continental Resources PAC, etc.) and directly to the bill signers — combined ~$443K. When the API CEO, the Chevron CEO, the Koch government-affairs head, the Continental Resources executive, and the Alliance Coal CEO all show up on both lists, you're looking at coordinated industry support, not coincidence.
- The Senate version is where passage risk concentrates. Cruz's principal committee alone has taken in $8.77M in PAC dollars 2022–2026 — more than all six House cosponsors combined. If the bill rides into a must-pass vehicle (a Judiciary package or end-of-year omnibus), the Senate-side weight is what makes attachment plausible.
- This bill is unlikely to pass on its own. 100% of comparable prior-art bills since the 115th Congress died in committee (PoliStack legislative lineage analysis). The realistic path is attachment to a larger bill during reconciliation/omnibus negotiations — which is precisely why bipartisan visibility on the donor flows matters now.
Methodology & sources
How this brief was built
Data sources
- Bill text & cosponsorsCongress.gov H.R. 8330

- PAC contributionsFEC bulk filings via the PoliStack political knowledge graph
- Lobbyist contributionsSenate LDA contribution disclosures via the PoliStack political knowledge graph
Caveats
- Corporate PAC matching is conservative: we only credit a company when its corporate PAC name unambiguously contains the company name (e.g., “EXXON MOBIL PAC” → ExxonMobil). Subsidiaries giving via a parent's PAC are credited to the parent.
- Trade-association member rosters are filtered to companies operating in the energy supply chain — upstream production, midstream pipelines/storage, downstream refining/petrochemicals/marketing, utilities, coal/mining, nuclear, and energy-specific engineering and services.
- Independent expenditure totals reflect FEC-reported IE filings only. They do not include 501(c)(4) “dark money” spending, which is not disclosed at the contributor level.
- “Date introduced” for both bills is the official Congress.gov filing date. The Senate version's “Stop Climate Shakedowns Act” short title is industry-aligned framing language; the House version uses only its operative title.
