Blumenthal's $5.5M fundraising profile draws 74% from individual donors and 26% from PACs and committees, with $462K in separate party and single-issue political contributions. Industry-tied money reflects concentration in legal and financial sectors, with lawyers and lobbyists representing 31% of industry contributions, securities and investment firms 15%, and telecommunications, health services, and technology each contributing smaller shares. Individual donor employment data shows similar patterns, with lawyers, lobbyists, securities professionals, and real estate workers comprising a substantial portion of his employed donor base.

DOES THE MONEY MATCH THE VOTES?
How Blumenthal voted on bills touching their biggest donor sectors
Each dollar figure is Blumenthal's total from that donor sector — shown on each related vote, not a per-vote amount. Correlation between funding and votes, not causation; many factors shape any single vote.

HOW WE ESTIMATE THIS
Estimated holdings are estimated from disclosed trades alone (net buys minus sales).
Everything is a range or estimate. The STOCK Act requires only broad dollar brackets (e.g. "$1,001–$15,000"), never exact amounts, share counts, or prices. Figures shown are midpoints.
"Filed after" is the gap between the trade and its disclosure. Over 45 days (⚠) is outside the STOCK Act's filing window.
Source. U.S. House Clerk periodic transaction reports & annual financial disclosures (public record). Not real-time; profit/loss can't be computed from disclosures.
