TRAIL AI
Pfluger's fundraising profile is 60% dependent on PAC and committee contributions, with the remaining 40% drawn from individual donors. Industry-tied money shows concentration in energy and natural resources, with oil and gas accounting for 21% of his industry contributions, followed by smaller shares in agriculture, health services, telecommunications, and legal services; individual donors employed in oil and gas, securities and investment, and legal fields represent the clearest non-PAC economic signal. Party and leadership-aligned contributions comprise $5.3M of his $16.4M total, a substantial political component distinct from his sectoral donor base.

ALIGNMENT FLAGS
Representative August Pfluger is the primary sponsor of hjres35-119, which would nullify an EPA rule requiring Oil & Gas companies to pay annual charges on methane emissions exceeding specified thresholds. Pfluger sponsored this bill to facilitate congressional disapproval of the EPA's Waste Emissions Charge rule. Oil & Gas donors represent 10.7% of Pfluger's identifiable donor base ($1.85M, ranking fourth among their party), and Oil & Gas industry groups filed 7,320 lobbying reports since 2022 on related issues.

WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT
Lobbying is when companies, unions, and trade associations pay firms to influence laws and regulations — and the law requires them to disclose it. Every quarter, registrants file a report with Congress detailing who hired them, how much they spent, and which issues they pushed.
This page filters those filings to the industries that also fund this member's campaign. If commercial banks gave 30% of this member's donations and also filed 5,000 lobbying reports on bank-related issues last year, that's a financial pattern worth knowing about. It does not mean the member is corrupt — it means the industries paying to elect them are also paying to influence the laws they vote on.

Data: LDA (Lobbying Disclosure Act) quarterly filings · 2017–present
Amounts are self-reported by registrants. Issue codes are mapped from the LDA's 80+ general issue codes to our 19-industry taxonomy.
An industry showing up here means it both (a) funds this member's campaign and (b) lobbies Congress on issues affecting it. That overlap is a factual pattern, not proof of any quid-pro-quo.
