A report by the advocacy group Public Citizens, found that over 75% of congressional candidates in Tuesday's elections who won a seat from the opposite party, benefitted from third-pary corporate funding. The report was released by advocacy group, Public Citizen, and found that in most political races, the winning candidate received more corporate funding than the losing candidate.
