1. fail Researched row: Brad Sherman · revolving door & family
   Evidence item 1 cites the wrong member's filing. The PDF 9116209 is Vicente Gonzalez's (TX-34) 2025 annual report, not Sherman's, and its Schedule C is blank. The summary's statement that 'Sherman's 2025 disclosure lists his wife's salary… · Without that filing, the 'no family lobbying / spouse works for the government' fact rests only on an old CSUN student-paper article from about 2007–2010. That is reporting, not a current primary record. The summary's past tense ('worked')… (+3 more in audits.csv)
   Outcome: corrected and re-audited
2. fail Researched row: Shri Thanedar · money → action alignment
   The metricSummary says 'Many Democrats cast the same votes.' Roll call 201 contradicts that for the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act: only 2 Democrats voted Yea, and Thanedar was one of them. The statement holds for CLARITY (78 Democrats… · The 2021–22 FEC figures ($9.18M of $9.32M self-funded) are cited to weball26.zip, which doesn't contain them. They come from weball22.zip; I checked it, and it shows $9.32M in receipts and $9.17M in candidate loans. Cite that file. (+1 more in audits.csv)
   Outcome: corrected and re-audited
3. fail Researched row: Adam Gray · money → action alignment
   'His district is among the most agricultural in the country' has no supporting evidence item. It is context that lowers suspicion rather than raising the score, but it should be sourced (e.g., USDA Census of Agriculture by district) or… · The 2023–24 receipts in evidence item 1 are cited to weball26.zip, but they come from weball24.zip. The figures are correct there; the citation should be split or fixed. (+2 more in audits.csv)
   Outcome: corrected and re-audited
4. fail Researched row: J. Luis Correa · revolving door & family
   The summary says Nguyen lobbies on 'tax, housing and trade issues', but the cited LD-2 lists only the TAX and HOU codes (community growth and economic development). 'Trade' has no support and should be dropped or sourced. · The statement that tax, housing and trade 'are not Correa's committees' has no cited source, such as the committee assignments page. It lowers the score rather than raising it, so the score does not rest on it, but it is still an unsourced…
   Outcome: withdrawn until re-researched
5. fail Researched row: Mike Thompson · revolving door & family
   Unsupported: 'Three other ex-staffers are registered lobbyists in 2026.' The evidence shows only one other ex-staffer (Elizabeth Murray). The pipeline's size is part of what the score rests on. · Unsupported: 'one of them for drug and diagnostics companies with Ways and Means health business.'

   Outcome: corrected and re-audited
6. fail Researched row: Terri A. Sewell · money → action alignment
   'named for her mother': no cited source says Nancy Gardner Sewell is her mother. The W&M one-pager only gives the name. Add a source or drop the phrase. · 'the top legislative priority of test maker Grail': STAT (2023) supports heavy lobbying and an urgent bid for Medicare coverage, but not the word 'top'. Soften to 'a major lobbying priority' or cite a source. (+2 more in audits.csv)
   Outcome: withdrawn until re-researched
7. fail Researched row: Terri A. Sewell · revolving door & family
   metricSummary says Mehlman Consulting's clients include AARP, Aflac and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan.

Either add sources or change… · metricSummary says 'A former military legislative assistant also lobbies.' No evidence item backs this. (+2 more in audits.csv)
   Outcome: corrected and re-audited
8. fail Researched row: Linda T. Sánchez · revolving door & family
   Four clients are named in metricSummary (BlackRock, the Financial Services Forum, the Investment Company Institute, the Business Roundtable) with no evidence item behind them. Only the Altria LD-2 is cited. Under hard rule 1, add the… · 'matters that run through Ways and Means' and 'her committee's jurisdiction' assume Sánchez sits on Ways and Means.

9. fail Researched row: Frank Pallone, Jr. · revolving door & family
   The summary says Holland registered for 'Cardinal Health, Becton Dickinson, Elanco and other health clients', but the cited evidence covers only Becton, Dickinson. Cardinal Health, Elanco and the 'other health clients' have no evidence… · The summary says the spouse's 'only' earned income is Oceans Cove sales income and that Oceans Cove 'does not lobby the office'. The PDF confirms the Oceans Cove (SP) line, but no cited source proves it is the only one or that Oceans Cove…

10. fail Researched row: Jasmine Crockett · money → action alignment
    metricSummary says Crockett 'sits on Judiciary and Oversight', but no evidence item supports her committee assignments. · metricSummary says '60 to 240 committees a cycle, none giving more than $15,000', but the cited evidence only verifies the 2023–24 cycle (240 committees, max $11,999). The 60-committee figure and the $15,000 cap for the other cycles have… (+2 more in audits.csv)

11. fail Researched row: Nydia M. Velázquez · revolving door & family
    metricSummary says four former staffers registered to lobby in 2026, but the evidence shows only two (Minehardt and McHugh). The other two are not sourced. · metricSummary says two of the junior staffers were in her office from 2000 to 2003. Only McHugh's 2000–2003 post is sourced. (+3 more in audits.csv)
    Outcome: corrected and re-audited
12. fail Researched row: Angie Craig · money → action alignment
    metricSummary says reporting 'described much of [the $20M+ outside spending] as coming from undisclosed donors'. The cited Minnesota Reformer article (Aug 11, 2026) does not say this, and no other evidence item does. This is an unsupported… · The evidence item for the 2021–22 FEC summary cites weball24.zip, which only holds 2023–24 data. The 2021–22 figures are correct but come from https://www.fec.gov/files/bulk-downloads/2022/weball22.zip, so that URL should be cited. (+3 more in audits.csv)
    Outcome: corrected and re-audited
13. fail Researched row: Janice D. Schakowsky · revolving door & family
    The great-niece's issues are described as 'Medicare and Medicaid'. The cited Q3 2025 filing's issue is 'provision of senior care in long-term care facilities'; Medicaid appears only in the Q1/Q2 2025 filings, which are not cited. CMS is… · The summary calls Ambassadors Group a 'trade group' / 'trade association'. The cited filing only shows a self-filing organization in Clifton, NJ and does not establish that it is a trade association. (+5 more in audits.csv)
    Outcome: withdrawn until re-researched
14. fail Researched row: Kevin Mullin · money → action alignment
    Minor: the IE evidence item calls United Democracy Project 'AIPAC's super PAC', but the cited FEC 2022 IE file doesn't say that. Its 'no outside spending above $500 in 2024 or 2026' clause cites only the 2022 file. Neither is in… · Minor: the drug/biotech/device totals (~$146,000, 34 PACs; ~$99,800 in 2023–24) depend on how PACs are classified. An independent keyword pass gave ~$143,000 from 33 PACs and ~$97,800. The 'about' wording covers the difference.
    Outcome: corrected and re-audited
15. fail Researched row: Brendan F. Boyle · money → action alignment
    The 2023–24 receipts figures ($2,337,216 and $1,112,299) are cited to weball26.zip, which only covers 2025–26. The numbers are correct but belong in weball24.zip (https://www.fec.gov/files/bulk-downloads/2024/weball24.zip). · 'Ranking Member of the Budget Committee' is not supported by the cited Clerk page, which lists committee membership only. Add a source for the ranking role or drop it. The score does not depend on it. (+1 more in audits.csv)
    Outcome: withdrawn until re-researched
16. fail Researched row: Lois Frankel · money → action alignment
    metricSummary says the defense-contractor PACs (Northrop Grumman, RTX, Lockheed Martin, L3Harris, Leidos) gave '$41,000 in 2025–26'. The FEC file it cites shows $32,500 from those five (10,000 + 5,000 + 3,000 + 8,500 + 6,000). Evidence… · Evidence item 3 for 2025–26 omits Lockheed Martin's $3,000, even though the summary names Lockheed among the 2025–26 donors. (+2 more in audits.csv)
    Outcome: corrected and re-audited
17. fail Researched row: Laura Friedman · money → action alignment
    The 2023–24 receipts figures ($1,835,665.11 total, $309,393 from other committees) are cited to weball26.zip but only appear in weball24.zip (https://www.fec.gov/files/bulk-downloads/2024/weball24.zip). The figures are correct. The… · The approximate sums are slightly high. Aviation groups total about $45,500 in pas226 against 'about $47,000'. Transit, rail and maritime unions (ATU, TWU, SMART, BLET, TTD, MM&P) total about $26,000–28,000 against 'about $32,000', unless… (+1 more in audits.csv)
    Outcome: withdrawn until re-researched
18. fail Researched row: Alan Armstrong · money → action alignment
    Unsupported claim: 'led Williams Companies … as CEO from 2011 to 2025'. No evidence item gives tenure dates. Sludge says only 'former CEO and executive chairman', and the Globe item calls him 'longtime director and Executive Board… · Unsupported claim: 'Armstrong has no campaign donors'. No evidence item addresses his campaign fundraising. He was appointed, but the claim still needs a source (e.g. FEC) or should be removed. (+1 more in audits.csv)
    Outcome: withdrawn until re-researched
19. fail Researched row: Charles J. "Chuck" Fleischmann · money → action alignment
    The $810M Uranium Processing Facility and $440M+ Oak Ridge cleanup figures are not on the cited page (fleischmann.house.gov/issues/nuclear-energy). That claim is unsupported as sourced. · 'Defense and nuclear contractors are among his top donors' overstates CREW. CREW ranks Leidos and Lockheed only within its ten-company defense subset ($64,500 total, election cycles since Jan 6, 2021), not among all his donors. (+4 more in audits.csv)
    Outcome: corrected and re-audited
20. fail Researched row: Mike Kelly · money → action alignment
    Evidence item 8 calls Kelly 'a car dealer', but the cited ProPublica page shows only the NADA PAC contributions, not his occupation. The descriptor has no source (minor; the score doesn't rest on it). · metricSummary omits that the Ethics Committee also found Kelly violated the Code of Official Conduct (Roll Call). That's not a score error, but the summary is slightly incomplete about the official finding.
    Outcome: withdrawn until re-researched
21. fail Researched row: Mike Kelly · revolving door & family
    metricSummary says 'three former Kelly aides' are registered lobbyists, but the evidence documents only two (Kevin Dawson and John Ray). The third aide is unsourced. Change it to 'two' or add a filing. · 'squarely within Ways and Means jurisdiction': none of the cited sources establishes Kelly's Ways and Means membership or the committee's jurisdiction. Add a congress.gov or committee roster source, or soften the wording. (+2 more in audits.csv)
    Outcome: corrected and re-audited
22. fail Researched row: Stacey E. Plaskett · campaign-fund personal use
    'the suit centered on campaign donations' is not supported by the cited WTJX article. The article describes coercion of federal agents on Epstein's behalf as the core allegation and mentions her soliciting funds from Epstein only as the… · 'FEC rules allow campaign money for legal costs arising from a campaign or office' has no cited source. It is a reasonable statement of 11 CFR 113.2 practice, but it should have one. (+1 more in audits.csv)
    Outcome: withdrawn until re-researched
23. fail Researched row: Charles J. "Chuck" Fleischmann · money → action alignment
    metricSummary names the earmark as 'the Corps of Engineers' Chickamauga Lock', but the cited CAGW page only says 'an Army Corps of Engineers water project'; the project name has no cited source. · metricSummary calls it 'the largest single House earmark of FY2024'; CAGW says 'the single largest pork-barrel earmark' for FY2024 and does not say 'House'. (+2 more in audits.csv)
    Outcome: withdrawn until re-researched
24. fail Researched row: Charles J. "Chuck" Fleischmann · revolving door & family
    rawScore 25 is above the rubric's 15 ceiling. Going above 15 requires family lobbying, contracts or a staff pipeline tied to the member's office, and the row itself says no such tie was found. · metricSummary says the son lobbied for 'the Pressure Sensitive Tape Council'. No evidence item supports this; none of the five sources names that client. (+3 more in audits.csv)
    Outcome: corrected and re-audited
25. fail Researched row: Susie Lee · money → action alignment
    2021–22 defense-contractor PAC total: pas222 shows about $5,000 from identifiable contractor PACs (Boeing, Lockheed, Huntington Ingalls, Booz Allen), not about $7,500. The summary should say 'about $5,000'. This does not change the score,… · 'PAC money is about a quarter to a third of her receipts' has no cited evidence item. No source gives total receipts. This is minor context and the score does not rest on it. (+1 more in audits.csv)
    Outcome: withdrawn until re-researched
26. fail Researched row: Susie Lee · revolving door & family
    Minor: the line that the former legislative director's LEGO lobbying is 'unrelated to her committees' has no source. The LD-2 shows LEGO lobbying on trade/BIS/USTR issues, but nothing in the evidence lists her committees. It works in her… · Minor: 'no public finding was found' is an absence-of-evidence statement with no source behind it. It is acceptable as phrased and does not raise the score.
    Outcome: withdrawn until re-researched
27. fail Researched row: Wesley Bell · money → action alignment
    Minor wording issue: the summary says 2025–26 direct PAC money was 'led by labor and St. Louis employers.' In the FEC file the single largest committee donor is AIPAC's PAC ($14,994), and the summary does name it separately. Labor and… · Minor: 'his support for Israel was a stated campaign position from the start' gets only general support from JTA ('held firm in his support for Israel'). No cited source dates the position to the start of his 2024 campaign. This sentence…

28. fail Researched row: Tony Wied · money → action alignment
    Evidence items 1 and 2 cite webk26.zip / webk24.zip (the PAC/party summary files), which do not contain Wied's principal campaign committee. The receipts, PAC-total, candidate-loan and debt figures check out against weball26.zip /… · The metricSummary's '55% of 2026 receipts from PACs' rests on the mis-cited webk26 item. The number is right (596,900 / 1,090,216 = 54.8%, per weball26), but the cited source doesn't show it. (+1 more in audits.csv)
    Outcome: corrected and re-audited
29. fail Researched row: Blake D. Moore · money → action alignment
    metricSummary says 'most of that money comes from industries under his committees' jurisdiction', but no evidence item breaks his PAC receipts down by industry. This is the rubric's ~40-band criterion (concentrated industry money +… · metricSummary says 'Moore says his HSA expansion made it into the final H.R. 1.' The cited press release is dated May 14, 2025 and covers the House Republican reconciliation tax text, not the enacted law. Its own evidence claim correctly… (+3 more in audits.csv)
    Outcome: corrected and re-audited
30. fail Researched row: Michael Guest · money → action alignment
    metricSummary says he oversees DHS border programs 'as a subcommittee chairman on the Homeland Security Committee'. No evidence item cites his Homeland Security Committee membership or any chairmanship. Repo lake data confirms HSHM… · The 2022-cycle figures ($712,113 of $1.35 million) match FEC-derived lake data but no evidence item cites them. The cited FEC URLs cover only the 2024 and 2026 cycles.

32. fail Researched row: David G. Valadao · revolving door & family
    metricSummary says Valadao 'has sat on the Agriculture subcommittee over commodity programs since March 2026'. The cited CFBF article says only that he joined the full House Agriculture Committee roster. The subcommittee assignment is… · metricSummary says Rojewski's Westlands (drought/water storage) and Almond Alliance (incl. FY27 appropriations) lobbying was 'both before panels Valadao sits on'. The only membership the evidence supports is Agriculture, which covers the… (+1 more in audits.csv)
    Outcome: withdrawn until re-researched
33. fail Researched row: Mike Quigley · revolving door & family
    No evidence item backs the metricSummary statement that Quigley sits on the Appropriations subcommittee that funds the FAA. The only nearby fact is the 2021 filing listing Hinojosa as 'Associate Staff, House Appropriations Committee', and… · No evidence item backs the statement that 'American Airlines' PAC gave his campaign $7,500 in 2023–24 and $6,500 in 2025–26'. It needs an FEC source or should be dropped (hard rule 1). (+2 more in audits.csv)
    Outcome: corrected and re-audited
34. fail Researched row: Tom Emmer · money → action alignment
    metricSummary says 'His interest in crypto dates to 2015, before most of this money'. No cited source supports that date. Wikipedia only shows he took office in 2015, and Lever dates the Blockchain Caucus to 2016. This is mitigating… · Minor framing point: the $211,000 'crypto-aligned' PAC total counts broad financial firms (Goldman Sachs, Fidelity, LPL, CME, Invesco). Calling them crypto-aligned is the Daily Poster's own characterization. The summary attributes the…
    Outcome: withdrawn until re-researched
35. fail Researched row: Tom Emmer · revolving door & family
    metricSummary calls these 'the crypto bills Emmer champions'. No evidence item shows Emmer sponsoring or championing the BITCOIN Act or the CLARITY Act. The filing lists H.R. 2032 and H.R. 3633 but not their sponsors. The phrase is… · The evidence does not show 'crypto tax treatment' as a Wysocki lobbying issue in the parts of the Anchor Labs filing I extracted. The other three issues are confirmed.

    Outcome: withdrawn until re-researched
36. fail Researched row: Max L. Miller · revolving door & family
    metricSummary names further Ellis clients (Topsoe, Marquis, BP, Doosan, NRECA, Databricks), but no evidence item covers them. Only the Corning and Ameresco filings are cited. · metricSummary says the BP PAC gave $2,500 and the NRECA PAC gave $3,000 to Miller's 2026 campaign. No FEC evidence item is cited for either amount (rule 1). (+3 more in audits.csv)

37. fail Researched row: Jefferson Van Drew · money → action alignment
    'spread across trade groups, unions and corporate PACs' is not backed by any evidence item. weball24 gives only the PAC/other-committee total, not a breakdown by donor type. · 'Van Drew is a retired dentist': the AAOMS source supports 'DMD' (a dentist) but nothing cited supports 'retired'.

    Outcome: corrected and re-audited
38. fail Researched row: Troy A. Carter · campaign-fund personal use
    Minor: 'about $4,500 in OnStar fees and repairs' comes to OnStar ~$1,698 plus Mossy Motors ~$2,851.

    OpenSecrets source returns 403 (bot challenge), so the claim that Boeing is a top donor and that transportation, aerospace and labor are the top sectors is unsupported. The 35 score rests mainly on this claim. · No pas2-based sector concentration figure (≥25% of PAC dollars from one sector, with the donor committees listed) is given anywhere, so the v2.3 'concentrated + jurisdiction' (~40) tier isn't met.

92. unsure Summed disclosure: Mitch McConnell · net-worth enrichment in office
    The report URL redirected to https://efdsearch.senate.gov/search/home/, which is the eFD search-agreement gate, so the Part 3 assets schedule never loaded. Per the instructions this is unsure. I didn't count any assets, so I can't check the site's 2025 figure of $22M–$84M.
93. unsure Summed disclosure: Ro Khanna · net-worth enrichment in office
    The PDF (Rohit Khanna, CY2016) is a 116-page scan of CCITT images with no text layer, so pdftotext returns nothing. Schedule A is the old paper form: values are X marks in a rotated checkbox grid. Page 2 reads 'Please see the attached / Note: Almost all assets are spouse's', and the actual holdings sit in roughly 110 pages of scanned attachments. OCR can't reliably recover the checked value columns, so I can't independently count the holdings or sum their ranges. I can't confirm or refute $28M–open-ended.
94. unsure Lobbying record: Michael T. McCaul · revolving door & family
    I couldn't check this claim because the source link has no filing ID, so it doesn't identify one filing or one lobbyist. The site's own data (data/lake/lobbying_former_staff.csv) has several McCaul-office lobbyists, each tied to a specific filing URL. Two examples: Zachary Isakowitz (NVIDIA, filing 4caec807-4163-44a7-9fbb-2001daedab24) and Christopher Del Beccaro (Alki Strategies, filing 41ae54e3-19da-414a-888a-b85756588e9f). Matthew Conner and Kris Parker (Arete Public Affairs) share filing cda7bfe2-0f24-4b89-adbb-c71f6ce9cbb8. Whatever produced this citation fell back to the search page instead of the filing URL. Fix that, re-run the check against the right filing, and it can be decided.
95. unsure Lobbying record: Seth Moulton · revolving door & family
    The citation doesn't point to a specific filing. Without a filing UUID (https://lda.senate.gov/filings/public/filing/<uuid>/print/ or /api/v1/filings/<uuid>/) or a lobbyist name, I can't tell which filing or lobbyist the site means, so I can't check the Seth Moulton (House, MA) covered position. The site's source link for this record looks like a placeholder or a broken link it built itself. It should store and link the filing_uuid for each covered-position claim.
96. unsure Lobbying record: Lisa C. McClain · revolving door & family
    The citation link doesn't name a filing. It has no filing UUID, and the claim doesn't name the lobbyist, so I can't look up the matching record in the LDA API (/api/v1/filings/{uuid}/) either. To check the Lisa C. McClain (House, MI) attribution, the site's source link needs to point at the specific filing, e.g. lda.senate.gov/filings/public/filing/<uuid>/print/, and the claim needs the lobbyist's name. Without those, the claim can't be verified from its own source. That is a sourcing defect in its own right.
97. fail Lobbying record: Gregory W. Meeks · revolving door & family
    Becker & Poliakoff for the American Weather Enterprise Association, 2026 Q2. Clarence Williams is on the filing, but his covered position names Rep. Kendrick B. Meek. Meek was a Florida House member, 2003–2011. He is a different person from Gregory W. Meeks (NY). The site's own quote, "Rep. Kendrick Meeks", mixes the two names, which suggests a fuzzy match on "Meek/Meeks" put him on the wrong member.
    Outcome: filing left out of the measure
98. unsure Lobbying record: David McCormick · revolving door & family
    The source link has no filing UUID and the claim doesn't name the lobbyist, so there was nothing to check the McCormick (Senate, PA) covered position against. The site seems to have saved the search page as the citation instead of the filing's own URL. To verify, the audit needs the filing UUID or print URL and the lobbyist's name.
99. unsure Lobbying record: Maria Elvira Salazar · revolving door & family
    The source link has no filing UUID, and the claim doesn't name the lobbyist, so there's nothing to check against Maria Elvira Salazar's office. Greederboard should store and link the filing-specific URL (lda.senate.gov/filings/public/filing/<uuid>/print/, or api/v1/filings/<uuid>/) and the lobbyist's name, so the covered-position attribution can be checked.
100. unsure Lobbying record: Kevin Hern · revolving door & family
     The citation doesn't point to a filing. It links to the LDA search form with no filing UUID, and the claim doesn't name the lobbyist. That leaves no filing to open, no lobbyist to look up on it, and no covered position to compare with 'office of Kevin Hern (House, OK)'. Fix: store the filing's own URL (lda.senate.gov/filings/public/filing/<uuid>/print/ or the API's /api/v1/filings/<uuid>/), plus the lobbyist's name, so the claim can be checked. Until that's done, the attribution can't be confirmed.
101. fail Lobbying record: Stacey E. Plaskett · revolving door & family
     I read the filing as JSON from the LDA API (lda.senate.gov/api/v1/filings/4e404179-…). Registrant: OGR. Client: PJM Interconnection LLC. Period: 2026 Q2. It lists four lobbyists: Jerome Murray, Karissa Willhite, Conrad Lass and Chris Giblin. None of them has a covered position on this filing. Murray is on it, but nothing here names Rep. Stacey Plaskett's office or any other office, so this filing doesn't support the site's attribution. Registrants usually disclose a covered position only on a lobbyist's first filing for a client, so the site's text, which also names Butterfield and the Democratic Steering and Outreach Committee, probably comes from an earlier OGR filing. The site should cite that filing instead of this one. A hook blocked the print page, so I used the API. A second API call to show Murray's full entries returned HTTP 429 (rate limit). The first call had already returned covered_position as null for every lobbyist.
     Outcome: filing left out of the measure
102. unsure Lobbying record: Dan Crenshaw · revolving door & family
     The citation doesn't point to a single filing, so I can't check the claim that a lobbyist's covered position was in Rep. Dan Crenshaw's office (House, TX). To verify it, the site's evidence record needs to carry the filing UUID (lda.senate.gov/filings/public/filing/{uuid}/print/ or api/v1/filings/{uuid}/) and the lobbyist's name. On the site's side, this looks like a source-link bug: it stores the generic search URL instead of the filing's own link.
103. unsure Lobbying record: John James · revolving door & family
     The citation links to the generic Senate LDA search page, so it points at no specific filing. The audit request also leaves out the lobbyist's name, so I couldn't look the filing up through the LDA API (/api/v1/filings/?filing_uuid=… or lobbyist search) either. Without a filing to read, I can't confirm or rule out a covered position at Rep. John James's (R-MI) office. To fix this on the site, store the specific filing URL (https://lda.senate.gov/filings/public/filing/<uuid>/print/) and the lobbyist's name in the source record, then audit again.
104. fail Lobbying record: Tommy Tuberville · revolving door & family
     This is the Klein/Johnson Group filing for Airports Council International - North America, Q2 2026. I checked it two ways. The LDA API returned covered_position = null on all four of Hayes's lobbying_activities entries. On the print page his name appears in each lobbyist list with nothing in the covered-position column. So he is on the filing, but this filing never names Tuberville's office. The site's string ("…Leg Dir, Sen. Tuberville; …DHS") probably came from another filing, such as an earlier one or his registration (LD-1). The site should cite that filing as the source for the Tuberville link, not this one. Calling this "fail" is a judgment call. The rubric's fail cases are a missing lobbyist or a different office, and here the position is simply blank. But the filing is readable, so "unsure" doesn't fit either.
     Outcome: filing left out of the measure
105. fail Lobbying record: Mike Johnson · revolving door & family
     I read this from the lda.gov print page. The LDA API returned 429 errors. The filing is registrant California Recycling Alliance, 2026. Hodges is on it, but this filing gives him no covered position. It doesn't mention Speaker Johnson or any other office, so it doesn't support the site's attribution to Mike Johnson's office. The text the site shows ("NatSec Adv, Speaker Johnson; …") must come from a different filing. The only covered position anywhere on this filing belongs to John Steitz: Sen. John Kennedy, Senate Small Business Committee and Sen. David Vitter. Either cite the filing where Hodges actually disclosed the Johnson role, or stop citing this filing as the source.
     Outcome: filing left out of the measure
106. unsure Lobbying record: Rick Larsen · revolving door & family
     The cited source is https://lda.senate.gov/filings/public/filing/search/, the blank search page. It has no filing UUID and no filing ID, and the claim doesn't name the lobbyist, so there was no specific filing for me to open, either on the site or through the LDA API (/api/v1/filings/{uuid}/). My one fetch attempt was blocked by a tool permission denial, but a search form wouldn't have shown a covered position anyway. To fix it, store the filing's own URL in the citation (lda.senate.gov/filings/public/filing/{uuid}/print/) along with the lobbyist's name. Then check that their covered_position text names Rep. Rick Larsen's office (WA-02). Right now the citation can't be checked as given.

1. fail Researched row: Bill Cassidy · money → action alignment
   The '~$290,375 in 2023–2024' figure is not supported. The STAT article is from April 2023 and can't report a full 2023–24 cycle total. The OpenSecrets page returned 403, so it couldn't be checked either. · The insurer PACs (Cigna, CVS, Humana) are not supported by any source I could reach. (+4 more in audits.csv)
   Outcome: corrected and re-audited
2. fail Researched row: Pete Ricketts · revolving door & family
   metricSummary says the family businesses are 'not lobbying firms or contractors with his Senate office'. The cited Wikipedia page has nothing on lobbying or federal contracts, and that negative is the claim the low score rests on. · The claim that the family's business interests are 'private holdings' is unsupported, and partly contradicted for TD Ameritrade, which the same page says went public in 1997. The Cubs are a family-trust holding, but that ownership was… (+2 more in audits.csv)
   Outcome: corrected and re-audited
3. fail Researched row: Richard E. Neal · money → action alignment
   Unsupported statement: 'Neal called the challenger's charge nonsense.' No cited source says this. BuzzFeed says Neal's office 'did not immediately respond' and Sludge says it 'did not respond.' Rule 1 says to drop it or add a source. The… · 'his late 2019 surprise-billing counterproposal favored by private-equity-backed physician groups' is only partly supported. The sources say PE-backed groups paid for ads against the bipartisan deal and that Neal's counterproposal sank it.… (+3 more in audits.csv)
   Outcome: corrected and re-audited
4. fail Researched row: Lori Trahan · money → action alignment
   metricSummary says the 2018 loans were 'examined by House Ethics', but no evidence item covers a House Ethics review. That clause is unsupported as cited. It is context, not something the score rests on: add an OCE/Ethics source or drop… · metricSummary says the matter 'closed with no violation found'. Per MUR 7588, two counts (timely source reporting of the Sep 4, 2018 loan, and timely deposit) were dismissed under prosecutorial discretion rather than found to have no… (+1 more in audits.csv)
   Outcome: corrected and re-audited
5. fail Researched row: Donald Norcross · money → action alignment
   Committee assignments (Armed Services; Education and Workforce) have no evidence item. The score rests on committee overlap, so a congress.gov or clerk committee URL should be cited. The fact itself is not contradicted. · 'Former IBEW Local 351 official' has no source. NJ Spotlight says only that he was 'a union leader'. The IBEW pension part is backed by the 2018 House disclosure PDF, but the evidence claim for that PDF does not mention it. (+3 more in audits.csv)
   Outcome: withdrawn until re-researched
6. fail Researched row: Jake Auchincloss · money → action alignment
   The row's own cited source contradicts its exculpatory inference that 'the money followed the committee seat rather than preceding the position'. The Wikipedia page says that before the 2021 H.R. 3 stance, his 2020 campaign benefited from… · 'PACs supplied only about a fifth of his 2025–26 receipts' has no supporting evidence item. The pas2 files give PAC totals, not total receipts. A candidate summary (weball/FEC candidate page) citation is needed. (+1 more in audits.csv)
   Outcome: corrected and re-audited
7. fail Researched row: Lizzie Fletcher · money → action alignment
   The Punchbowl News source for her public opposition to the 2024 LNG pause returned HTTP 403 and could not be verified. The score does not depend on it: money concentration plus committee and caucus overlap support 33 without it. Still, the…
   Outcome: corrected and re-audited
8. fail Researched row: Grace Meng · money → action alignment
   'Ranking member of its Commerce, Justice, Science subcommittee' is not supported by any evidence item. The Clerk page lists membership only. Add a source such as the Appropriations Committee minority page, or drop the title. · The cycle ranges in metricSummary ('28-30% … since 2021–22', '$481,000 to $618,000', '122 to 178 PACs') rest partly on 2021–22 data that no evidence item covers. The 2025–26 PAC share percentage is also unsourced, since only 2023–24…
   Outcome: withdrawn until re-researched
9. fail Researched row: Grace Meng · revolving door & family
   metricSummary dates the community engagement director's Meng job to 2011–2021, but the cited filing says 'Director of Community Engagement, Rep. Grace Meng (2017–2021)'. Meng took her House seat in 2013, so no cited source supports 2011.… · metricSummary says both former aides registered the firm for Queens clients 'from 2022'. The 2022 Queens Chamber filing names only Lemma. Class first appears on the cited 2023 filing. This is minor wording.
   Outcome: withdrawn until re-researched
