Funding and votes
How their votes align with industry funding
Across 13 industry-vote comparisons with at least $10K in traced funding, they voted the industry's way 10 times (77%). 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.

Constituents vs. funders
Voted the way most of their constituents wanted on 1 of 1 key votes (100%)
None of these votes set their $10K+ industry funders against a clear majority of their constituents. 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.
