So far, Amazon hasn't been a big player on the local campaign finance scene. The company has donated about $11,000 since 2016 to candidates for state office. Separately, Jeff Bezos's parents gave Gov. Cuomo $15,000 in 2015. (Unlike in Seattle or at the New York State level, New York City candidates are barred from accepting corporate donations, so the company could not have given directly here; over the past 18 years, individual Amazon employees have donated a trivial $12,000 to various city candidates.)
