Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) serves on the House Committee on Armed Services, which has jurisdiction over the Defense & Aerospace sector. Defense & Aerospace is his largest identifiable donor sector at 14.3% of contributions ($0.36M), ranking him 17th among House Republicans in donor concentration from that sector.

How we built this: a statistical pattern surfaced from public records — FEC campaign finance, Senate/House Lobbying Disclosure Act filings, and Congress.gov. The donor concentration and the legislative action are concurrent facts; this does not imply contributions caused the action, that the member acted improperly, or that the bill specifically benefits the named sector.
