Krishnamoorthi voted Yea on H.Res. 488 on June 9, 2025 — a resolution condemning the antisemitic terrorist attack in Boulder, Colorado. The resolution included language that 'expresses gratitude to law enforcement officers, including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel, for protecting the homeland.' 75 Democrats voted in favor; 113 opposed. Critics noted Republicans included the ICE language to split Democrats.

Vote: on "At the January 26, 2026 Illinois Senate Democratic primary debate, Krishnamoorthi stated: 'I…"

[ Show full analysis ]

Krishnamoorthi voted to 'express gratitude' to ICE in a June 2025 antisemitism resolution (H.Res. 488), then seven months later called for abolishing 'Trump's ICE' at a Senate primary debate and said 'not a single dollar more' for the agency. His opponents seized on the vote. Krishnamoorthi defended it as a vote to condemn antisemitism, noting the ICE language was a Republican addition. The contradiction reflects the tension between his pro-Israel voting record and his progressive immigration positioning.

On January 26, 2026, Krishnamoorthi stated at a Senate debate: 'not a single dollar more for ICE or the Department of Homeland Security. That's the way I voted last week, and that's the way the Senate would vote.' He subsequently voted against DHS funding bills on multiple occasions in 2026.

Krishnamoorthi publicly demanded 'not a single dollar more' for ICE/DHS at the January 2026 debate, while his opponents noted he had previously voted to fund DHS and had accepted more than $90,000 from Palantir's CTO — an ICE contractor. Krishnamoorthi said he donated the Palantir contributions to immigrant rights…

Krishnamoorthi voted Nay on H.R. 5371, the continuing resolution that ended the 43-day government shutdown on November 12, 2025, joining all 14 Illinois Democrats in opposing the measure. The shutdown left millions of federal workers without paychecks, delayed food assistance, and caused massive air travel disruptions. He cited the lack of ACA subsidy extensions as his reason.

[ Show full analysis ]

Krishnamoorthi co-authored the TikTok ban (H.R. 7521) as a national security hawk, yet simultaneously courted the crypto industry — voting for FIT21, GENIUS Act, and CLARITY Act — and accepted $10 million in super PAC support from Fairshake. The contradiction is between his hawkish posture toward Chinese-controlled technology platforms (TikTok) and his embrace of an industry (crypto) that critics argue has its own vulnerabilities to foreign adversary exploitation and money laundering. Both positions align with his financial backers: TikTok's competitors benefit from a ban; crypto benefits from favorable regulation.

[ Show full platform position ]

Krishnamoorthi is the lead sponsor of the ETHICS Act (H.R. 4890) to ban congressional stock trading, stating it would 'prevent Members of Congress and their spouses and dependent children from trading stocks and owning stocks.' He reported approximately $0 invested in publicly traded assets tracked live, though his financial disclosures show retirement accounts with Vanguard target-date funds.

Vote: on "Krishnamoorthi voted Nay on H.R. 5371, the continuing resolution that ended the 43-day government…"

[ Show full analysis ]

Krishnamoorthi championed the ETHICS Act to ban congressional stock trading, yet reported retirement accounts with Vanguard funds that hold individual stocks. While mutual funds are generally excluded from congressional stock trading ban proposals, the juxtaposition of his 'clean hands' messaging with financial holdings — however permissible — was noted by opponents. His net worth of $3.9 million and Senate campaign spending of $28 million also drew attention to the scale of his personal and political finances.

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.
