UnitedHealth executives donate over $100,000 to Rep. Katherine Clark ahead of midterms

Sep 8, 2026·read at STAT ↗Neutral

UnitedHealth Group’s chief executive Stephen Hemsley and other senior leaders gave campaign contributions to Rep. Katherine Clark, a top Democrat in the House.

The contributions total more than $100,000, with Hemsley and his wife each giving $7,000, according to federal donation records for the 2025-2026 election cycle.

Clark, who recently won a closely watched primary in Massachusetts, is the No. 2 Democrat in the House and is expected to be a key figure in upcoming legislative battles.

UnitedHealth executives’ donations highlight the company’s continued involvement in political financing, a practice that can influence health policy and regulatory decisions.
