The $161Kparty/leadership & single-cause portion — not an industry signal
How to read this: “Raised” is direct contributions ($181K). We trace it to an industry or political category via PAC names and donor employers; small online donors without an employer can't be traced. Industry and political money are shown separately so the economic-interest signal isn't drowned out by party and advocacy money.

HOW WE CALCULATE THIS
Funding Profile
“Raised” is the FEC's official candidate total: individual contributions (itemized + unitemized) + PAC contributions + party contributions, summed across FEC reporting periods 2021–2026. It excludes loans, transfers from joint fundraising committees, and candidate self-funding. The Industry Signal donut shows only money traceable to an economic sector (via PAC names and donor employers); its center dollar figure always equals the sum of its slices. Party, leadership, and single-issue money is shown separately as political money, not industry — so it can't distort the economic-interest picture.
What we exclude from “raised”
FEC memo entries (informational subtotals that double-count money already reported elsewhere) are excluded — counting them inflated totals by tens of millions per member. Pass-through platforms (WinRed/ActBlue) that bundle many small donors are also shown apart from raised totals to avoid double-counting.
Data sources
FEC Schedule A & bulk PAC filings · FEC reporting periods 2021–2026 · Lobbying Disclosure Act (LDA) filings · 2017–present · Congress.gov / House Clerk voting records.
Important disclaimer
All data is sourced from public records. Analysis reflects statistical patterns only — it does not imply corruption, intent, or quid pro quo. Donor relationships show financial alignment, not control. Capitol Trail makes no claims about the motivations or character of any individual or organization.

No historical stock trade disclosures on file for this member.
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.

SOURCES & CAVEATS
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.
