[constituency_baseline] District summary: Maine is a predominantly rural state in the Northeast with a population of 1.4 million. Its economy relies on tourism, agriculture (particularly lobsters and blueberries), shipbuilding (Bath Iron Works), healthcare, and a growing technology sector. Maine is the whitest state in the U.S. (92.6% non-Hispanic white) and has the oldest median age. The state is politically independent; Senator King himself is an Independent, and Maine often splits its votes between the parties.

Voted yea on H.R. 3684 (Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act) on 2021-08-10: King was a key bipartisan negotiator; his yes vote delivered billions for Maine's roads, bridges, broadband, and climate resilience — directly benefiting constituents in the state with the nation's oldest population.

Voted nay on S. Amdt. 1364 to S.Con.Res. 14 (Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) Data Funding Amendment) on 2025-10-03: In a surprise vote, King voted against a Republican amendment to block funding for collection of SOGI data, aligning with LGBTQ+ advocacy groups and against a proposal that Maine's conservative constituents supported.

Voted nay on H.R. 6 (American Dream and Promise Act of 2021) on 2021-03-18: King broke with most Democrats to vote against a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers, citing border security concerns; the vote angered Maine's immigrant communities and was a rare defection on immigration.

Voted yea on H.R. 5376 (Inflation Reduction Act of 2022) on 2022-08-07: His 'yes' vote on climate and health provisions pleased environmental donors like League of Conservation Voters and fulfilled his longtime call for action on climate, a central issue for Maine's coastal communities.

Last contradiction analysis: Never
statement_vs_vote 90/100
Platform: "On October 25, 2020, Senator King issued a press release stating: 'I will vote against Judge Barrett's confirmation.'"
Vote: on "On October 26, 2020, Senator King voted 'Present' on the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett (Roll…"
King explicitly pledged to vote against confirmation, then voted 'Present' the next day — a vote that did not register opposition and therefore did not help block the nominee, contradicting his stated intention.

Scoring Methodology

The Capture Risk Score is a composite 0–100 index measuring potential regulatory capture of elected officials. It is computed from seven weighted components:

ComponentWeightSignal
Contradiction Risk30%Stated positions contradicted by the record (recent findings boosted)
Donor Influence20%Distinct documented donors (FEC Schedule A PACs); inferred donors do not count
Connection Density20%Mapped relationships to lobbyists, contractors, interest groups; donor links excluded
Silence Risk15%Topics where donors have interests but the official is silent
Intelligence Volume15%Documented facts from verified sources
Constituency Deviation0%Shown, not weighted — a model estimate, not a record
Voting Misalignment0%Shown, not weighted — needs platform commitments almost nobody has; the roll-call record on /votes is the vote signal

Each component is the member's standing among all scored members of Congress, and the weighted sum is the overall score. Tiers are ranks: Critical is the top 5%, High the next 10%, Elevated the next 20%, Moderate the next 30%, and Low the rest.

Officials without at least 2 documented facts, 1 contradiction analysis, 1 voting record, or 1 constituency baseline are marked Insufficient Evidence and excluded from numeric ranking.

Contradiction findings from the last 180 days receive a recency boost. High-severity contradictions (score ≥ 70) receive additional weight.

Calculation Methodology

Contract values are summed from documented money flow chains where this entity appears as a source or destination node. Amounts are drawn from USASpending.gov, FEC filings, SEC EDGAR, or LD-2 lobbying registrations.

Donor contributions aggregate documented amounts from the donor_interests table, sourced from FEC individual and PAC contribution filings.

Connected officials are elected officials in our database with a mapped relationship (lobbying, board membership, campaign contribution, etc.) to this entity.

Annualised flow represents the total documented dollar amount traced through money flow hops involving this entity. Where hop-level amounts are unavailable, the chain-level documented total is used as a conservative upper bound.

All figures are drawn from public filings. Estimates are conservative — undisclosed transactions, dark money, and vanish-point hops are excluded from totals. This is a minimum documented floor, not a ceiling.
