Auchincloss stated a preference for a 'clean' debt ceiling raise but ultimately voted for the Fiscal Responsibility Act compromise containing spending caps and work requirements, representing an evolution from stated principle to legislative pragmatism.

Gaza ceasefire resolution (H.Res.786)

451d silent

[ Show full donor-interest summary ]

Expected position: As a progressive Massachusetts Democrat in a district that voted 58% for Harris in 2024 and with significant progressive constituency, Auchincloss would be expected to support or cosponsor a ceasefire resolution during the 2023-2024 Israel-Hamas war. Evidence of activity on adjacent topics: Auchincloss was actively vocal on Israel during this window—he called ceasefire backers in his own party 'outliers' speaking for 'own political ends' (Nov 2023) and emphasized 'sustained engagement' rather than ceasefire (Oct 2025). He did not cosponsor H.Res.786 (118th Congress) calling for immediate deescalation and cease-fire, despite 18 House Democrats doing so.

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:

Component	Weight	Signal
Contradiction Risk	30%	Stated positions contradicted by the record (recent findings boosted)
Donor Influence	20%	Distinct documented donors (FEC Schedule A PACs); inferred donors do not count
Connection Density	20%	Mapped relationships to lobbyists, contractors, interest groups; donor links excluded
Silence Risk	15%	Topics where donors have interests but the official is silent
Intelligence Volume	15%	Documented facts from verified sources
Constituency Deviation	0%	Shown, not weighted — a model estimate, not a record
Voting Misalignment	0%	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.
