The OpenSecrets profile for Bozzuto Group shows no identified political contributions or lobbying activities in the critical 2024 election cycle. Given that political contributions and lobbying can be used to fund and promote authoritarian policies, the absence of such activity is a positive indicator of the company's stance against influencing democracy negatively. However, this rating is solely based on political engagement data and does not consider other dimensions such as labor practices or economic influence.

Bozzuto’s conduct as illustrated in the case shows actions aimed at discouraging union activity through coercive tactics, such as raising wages in response to union organizing, enforcing restrictive speech policies, and altering productivity data to justify dismissals. These practices compromise labor rights and reflect unethical treatment of employees, thereby contributing to a broader pattern of authoritarian business practices.

Bozzuto's Inc. v. Nat'l Labor Relations Bd.

The documented political contribution by Michael Bozzuto highlights a use of personal or corporate influence in the political arena. From a left-leaning perspective concerned with the rise of authoritarianism, even a moderate contribution like $7,455 in 2016 can be seen as potentially enabling candidates or policies aligned with authoritarian tendencies. This record raises questions about transparency and the broader implications of corporate political funding.
