The swamp takes crypto

Committees registered to them

"Connected organisation" is the sponsoring body named in the committee's own registration — the only corporate tie the filing states outright.

Money in — from other political committees, 2026 cycle

Top 15 of 336 committees, $1,117,818 total. Each links to that committee's own FEC page, where its donors are listed in turn. This counts contributions the committee actually received. Independent expenditures — money spent for or against them by groups they do not control — are a separate thing and appear below, not here.

Money out — largest payees, 2026 cycle

Vendors and operating costs, not political giving. See the explainer below for what this money can and cannot be used for.

Independent spending supporting them, 2026 cycle

$6,898 from 7 committee(s). Groups spending to support them. They cannot direct this money, and by law may not coordinate with whoever spends it.

Independent spending opposing them, 2026 cycle

$4,548 from 1 committee(s). Groups spending to defeat them. This is money spent against this member — it is not money they received, and it is not theirs.

Outside spending, 2026 cycle

Spent by groups acting independently of the campaign. Net of amendments, so a total can read negative when corrections outweigh new spending. Source: FEC independent expenditures.

Personal financial disclosure — the private side

Filed by the member themselves under the Ethics in Government Act. These cover personal assets, outside income, liabilities and stock transactions — the private side that campaign filings never show. Source: House Clerk.

Lobbying disclosures — what registrants reported (LD-203), 2024–2026

495 item(s) totalling $815,934 across 2024–2026 filings, reported by lobbying registrants and lobbyists on form LD-203. By category: FECA $815,934 (495). These are their disclosures, not this person's: twice a year, registrants must report political contributions and certain honorary payments. An entry here means a lobbying organisation reported money to a committee of theirs or to an event honouring them — it is not a payment to them personally, and it is not evidence of any arrangement. The categories are not equivalent: FECA items are ordinary campaign contributions, while inaugural, library and honorary entries are payments to separate funds that carry no contribution limits.

Where their PAC money came from, 2026 cycle

$1,117,818 in contributions from other political committees, classified by the donor committee's own registered name. Independent spending for or against them is not included here.

Committees they sit on

House Committee on Armed Services, House Committee on Small Business

Industries with business before their committees

Read this as a correlation and nothing more. A member sits on the committee that matches their district, and the industries there fund them for the same reason they are there. It is a question worth asking, not an answer.

Their ten largest PAC donors supplied 10% of all PAC money they received.

What "money in" and "money out" mean here — and what they are not

Not shown, and why

• Relatives and associates, unless a filing names them. No profiles of private individuals.
• State-level contributions — those sit in 50 separate state systems, not the FEC.
• 501(c)(4) spending that is never itemised. Its absence is not evidence it does not exist.
