How we built this: a statistical pattern surfaced from public records — FEC campaign finance, Senate/House Lobbying Disclosure Act filings, and Congress.gov. The donor concentration and the legislative action are concurrent facts; this does not imply contributions caused the action, that the member acted improperly, or that the bill specifically benefits the named sector.
