Constituents vs. funders
Constituents had no clear side on the key votes they cast
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.
| Vote | Their constituents | Their funders | Voted |
|---|---|---|---|
| ANWR coastal plain leasingHouse · 2025 | 53% support ±16VA-10 · split · CES 2024 · related question | No industry with a side gave $10K+ | NayVoters split |
| One Big Beautiful Bill ActHouse · 2025 | 57% support ±16VA-10 · split · CES 2024 · related question | No industry with a side gave $10K+ | NayVoters split |
