TRAIL AI
Brad Finstad's fundraising profile is heavily dependent on PACs and committees, which account for 68 percent of his $7.8 million total, with the remaining 32 percent drawn from individual donors whose employment spans health services, technology, and agriculture. Industry-tied PAC money reflects a pronounced concentration in agriculture (35 percent), followed by smaller shares in food and beverage, defense and aerospace, retail, and commercial banking, while separate party and leadership contributions totaled $1.7 million. His voting record includes 192 recorded votes with no stock trade disclosures on file.

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.
