[constituency_baseline] District summary: Pennsylvania's 17th Congressional District covers the northwestern suburbs of Pittsburgh and parts of Beaver, Butler, and Allegheny counties. It is a historically blue but culturally purple district that mixes post-industrial towns like Beaver Falls with affluent Pittsburgh suburbs. The district has a population of approximately 762,000 and is predominantly White (86.6%) and non-Hispanic. The median household income is $74,895, with a poverty rate of 8.7%. Homeownership is high at 74.9%, and 34.5% of adults hold a bachelor's degree or higher. The economy relies on manufacturing (especially steel and aluminum), healthcare, retail, and energy (gas drilling in the Marcellus Shale). The district leans Democratic (D+23 Cook PVI on some estimates, though it backed Biden by 7 points in 2020). Deluzio was elected in 2022 after redistricting created an open Democratic-leaning seat.

During the 2022 campaign, Deluzio promised to be 'a voice for working families,' to 'protect union jobs,' and to fight against 'the wasteful spending that lines the pockets of the wealthy and the well-connected.' He has frequently highlighted his support for the Inflation Reduction Act's green energy provisions.
"
Vote: on "In 2024, Deluzio voted 'nay' on H.R. 8035, the Ukraine Security Supplemental Appropriations Act…"
Deluzio ran as a pro-labor champion for working families, yet his opposition to Ukraine aid placed him at odds with the national security establishment and the Biden administration he largely supports, while also disappointing some union allies who saw the aid as critical to global stability.

Platform: "Deluzio campaigned on supporting law enforcement and public safety, promising to 'fund the police' and work with police unions."
Vote: on "In 2023, Deluzio voted against H.R. 3091, the POLICE Act, which would have provided additional…"
Deluzio campaigned on funding the police, but his vote against the POLICE Act, due to accountability concerns, highlights the tension between his campaign rhetoric and his progressive governance approach.

Expected position: As a freshman Democrat representing a competitive district, Deluzio would be expected to hold open, in-person town halls to engage with constituents. Evidence of activity on adjacent topics: Deluzio has held telephone town halls and virtual events but has not hosted a traditional, open-door in-person town hall during his tenure. His opponent in the 2024 election criticized him for this. While Deluzio is active on social media and frequently communicates with constituents, no publicized in-person town hall has occurred.

Expected position: As a congressman who holds labor union values and has a multi-ethnic constituency in western Pennsylvania, Deluzio would be expected to articulate a balanced position on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. His lone official statement on Palestine was one March 2025 letter to the Secretary of State threatening to cut off arms sales if Israel invaded Rafah. Evidence of activity on adjacent topics: Since his election, Deluzio has rarely spoken about Israel and Gaza. He accepted substantial AIPAC funding but did not defend or condemn Israeli actions publicly. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette noted he was 'staying quiet' on the issue. He only broke his silence with the 2025 letter. His social media during this period was filled with topics like labor rights and infrastructure.

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.
