Read the full summary

Trackers report roughly $0 in tracked publicly traded assets and a net worth around $32,500 (negative in some prior years), indicating no individual-stock trading and no enrichment beyond salary. His campaign fundraising is modest ($130.8K in Q1 2026). He missed 8 of 674 roll-call votes in the 119th Congress (1.2%, below the 1.9% House median). He scores low on every component with a checked fact; campaign spending and revolving door have none, so they are marked no data and left out of the average.

NET15%

Net-worth enrichment in office

Summed disclosure ranges, assets less liabilities: −$847K–$0K for 2015 and −$585K–$0K for 2025 (midpoints $0K and $0K). Growing the 2015 midpoint at the S&P 500's total return (×3.98) and adding every salary dollar gives $1.7M; the 2025 midpoint shows no growth beyond what salary and the market explain. Ranges are wide, and wealth from before this time in office isn't scored.

Money → action alignmentcorrelation, not proof of any quid-pro-quo

Lobbyists and their PACs reported $928K given in this member's honor since January 2025 (LD-203), more than 43% of the House; the largest: AIR LINE PILOTS ASSOCIATION $38K, NATIONAL AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS ASSOCIATION $21K, ELI LILLY AND COMPANY $21K. PACs gave 53% of campaign receipts in the 2026 cycle, more than 79% of the House. This is money around the member, correlation not proof: a documented donor-to-action link comes from research. Research found no fact that scores higher.

Campaign-fund personal use

Since the 2022 cycle the campaign and leadership PAC reported $2.7M in operating spending; 8.2% of it ($219K) went to lifestyle categories such as resorts, clubs, event tickets and gifts, a larger share than 94% of House members'. Spending patterns are a signal, not a finding: most of these costs can be legitimate campaign expenses.
