Funding and votes
How their votes align with industry funding
Across 2 industry-vote comparisons with at least $10K in traced funding, they voted the industry's way 1 time (50%). This is a retrospective comparison using covered 2020–2026 runs; some money arrived after the vote. A vote can appear for multiple industries. Unknown coverage is excluded. “With industry” means its stated preferred side, and does not establish causation.
| Vote | Industry | Their money from it | Voted |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bipartisan Background Checks ActHouse · 2021 · 227–203 | Gun lobby wanted nay | $12K | Nay · with industry |

Constituents vs. funders
Voted the way most of their constituents wanted on 0 of 1 key votes (0%)
On 1 vote, industries that gave them $10K+ before the vote wanted the opposite of what most of their constituents wanted. They sided with the funders 1 time and with their constituents 0. Constituent views come from the Cooperative Election Study, a survey of about 60,000 adults a year. A side counts as what constituents wanted only when it leads by more than the margin of error; closer results are shown as split. Party explains most votes, and none of this shows that money changed a vote.
