The Washington Post via Getty Images Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell vowed to hold a vote on a Green New Deal in an apparent attempt to derail to increasingly popular proposal. The 12 senators co-sponsoring the Green New Deal resolution that Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) unveiled earlier this month have accepted nearly $1.1 million from oil, gas and coal companies since entering Congress. That comes out to about $670,000 per nonbacker, or more than 7 times what the average sponsor took in. Markey came in second, with $154,891 from oil and gas, but zero from coal.
