[constituency_baseline] District summary: Ohio is a Midwestern state of approximately 11.9 million residents with an economy historically anchored in manufacturing, though healthcare now dominates employment. The state has a median household income of approximately $72,212 — below the national median — and a poverty rate of approximately 13.4%. Approximately 25% of Ohioans (roughly 3 million people) receive health coverage through Medicaid, and 1.45 million Ohioans rely on SNAP benefits each month. The uninsured rate dropped from 14% in 2010 to 7% in 2022 following Medicaid expansion. Major employers include Cleveland Clinic, Ohio State University, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Procter & Gamble, and Honda of America. Ohio has shifted increasingly Republican, voting for Trump by 8 points in 2016 and 2020 and 11 points in 2024. The state has a Cook PVI of R+6. Husted's seat was previously held by JD Vance (elected 2022) and Sherrod Brown (elected 2006, defeated 2024). Husted faces a competitive 2026 special election against former Senator Sherrod Brown.

Voted yea on H.R. 9745 (Government Funding Continuing Resolution — October 2025) on 2025-10-01: Husted voted yea on the failed stopgap funding bill to keep federal agencies open. The bill was rejected, triggering a 40-day government shutdown that delayed SNAP benefits and military pay. The vote reflects the governing-wing posture of the GOP but contributed to disruptions for the 1.45 million Ohioans relying on SNAP.

[auto-downgraded: both claims come from the same source host] Husted repeatedly stated he had 'no role' in the HB6 bailout legislation at the center of Ohio's largest-ever corruption scandal, yet his own calendars obtained through public records revealed multiple meetings and calls with the three key players in the scheme — FirstEnergy's CEO, the state's top utility regulator, and the House Speaker who was convicted and sentenced to 20 years. Evidence presented at trial showed the CEO and lobbyist explicitly discussing Husted's push for additional subsidies in the bill.

Husted posted on social media calling the OBBBA a 'pro-family bill for working class families,' then deleted the post after being questioned about a photo showing him laughing with lobbyists. Shortly thereafter, he told a radio audience he 'loves' fighting for Medicaid work requirements that would strip coverage from nearly half a million Ohioans.

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.
