Washington Rep. Jason Chaffetz likes the industry and his latest campaign finance report shows the feeling is mutual.

The congressman received the maximum contribution -- $2,400 -- from six people involved in the leadership of Basic Research, just three weeks after the Salt Lake City-based company filed suit against the over an advertising dispute.
