Emergent Biosolutions was among many companies giving financial support to delegations at both major party political conventions in the summer of 2016 . The conventions used the contributions for receptions , food and transportation , but by law could not use contributions to fund campaigns . For example , Emergent hosted a breakfast reception at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia . The company sent representatives to both conventions with the aim of specifically meeting with Maryland delegates to educate the delegates about medical countermeasures
