Platform: "Fitzpatrick called the January 6th Capitol attack a 'coup attempt' and stated his belief in accountability for those responsible."

Vote: on "Fitzpatrick voted against establishing the bipartisan House Select Committee to investigate the Janu"

Fitzpatrick called January 6th a 'coup attempt' but then voted against establishing the select committee to investigate it and against holding Mark Meadows in contempt — effectively blocking the very accountability he publicly endorsed.

Platform: "Fitzpatrick called the January 6th Capitol attack a 'coup attempt' and stated his belief in accountability for those responsible."

Fitzpatrick touts his independence and bipartisanship, yet voted against both Trump impeachments despite calling January 6th a 'coup attempt' — a vote that aligned him with the most partisan elements of his party rather than his moderate self-brandin

Fitzpatrick voted against the AHCA in 2017 citing concerns about pre-existing conditions, but then voted for the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which eliminated the ACA individual mandate — a key mechanism for maintaining coverage of pre-existing conditions.

Fitzpatrick's moderate branding is contradicted by his votes against the Women's Health Protection Act. His anti-abortion position cost him support in a poll showing voters would abandon him once they learned of his stance.

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
Silence Risk	25%	Topics where donors have interests but the official is silent
Contradiction Risk	25%	Stated positions contradicted by voting record (recent findings boosted)
Connection Density	20%	Mapped relationships to lobbyists, contractors, interest groups
Intelligence Volume	10%	Documented facts from verified sources (logarithmic scale)
Donor Influence	10%	Distinct donors with interests overlapping committee jurisdiction
Constituency Deviation	5%	Gap between district priorities and legislative focus
Voting Misalignment	5%	Floor votes contradicting stated platform positions

Each component produces a raw score 0–100. The weighted sum yields the overall score. Tier thresholds: Critical ≥ 45, High ≥ 36, Elevated ≥ 22, Moderate ≥ 10, Low < 10.

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.
