Voted abstain_unverified on H.R. 8035 (Ukraine Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024 ($61 billion Ukraine military aid)) on 2024-04-20: Hunt did not vote on the Ukraine aid package, after having consistently voted against Ukraine assistance and calling it an 'endless proxy war.' His district's energy sector (Oil & Gas is his #2 donor industry at $282,300) could benefit from sustained high energy prices amid the conflict. His non-vote avoided taking a recorded position on a bill that passed 311-112 with 101 Republicans in favor. The abstention reflects cross-pressure between anti-interventionist rhetoric, donor interests, and NATO-allied Houston business community expectations.

[auto-downgraded: both claims come from the same source host] Hunt repeatedly claimed he voted for Trump in 2016 and was the first person in the country to endorse him, but Harris County voting records conclusively show he did not vote at all in the 2016 general election. His only presidential primary vote on record was for Hillary Clinton in 2008. Sources are from different hostnames (thetexasvoice.com vs. official county records cited by thetexasvoice.com).

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.
