Michigan Democratic Sen. Gary Peters purchased up to $15,000 American Electric Power Company Inc. stock on January 15.
American Electric Power Company generates 73% of its power from fossil fuels, including 45% from coal.
Peters, who last month became chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, made the stock purchase on January 15, his disclosure indicates.
American Electric Power Company spokesperson Tammy Ridout declined to comment on Peters' stock purchase, saying," We don't comment on individual shareholders' investments."
Peters' stock purchase of American Electric Power Company isn't his first energy company investment.
