Kennedy campaigns as a fiscal conservative who advocates for 'fiscal discipline and accountability in Washington,' and has stated 'we do not have unlimited money.' He introduced a bill (H.R. 9749) to prohibit members of Congress from being paid during government shutdowns.

Kennedy campaigns as a fiscal conservative who demands spending restraint, yet voted for the OBBBA which the CBO projected would add $3.4 trillion to the national debt. The AFL-CIO and CWA both opposed the bill as devastating to working families. The discrepancy between Kennedy's fiscal-discipline rhetoric and his…

[ Show full platform position ]

Kennedy has built his political persona on being a family physician who lives by the medical oath to 'do no harm.' He uses his Dr. title prominently — his campaign website is 'Mike Kennedy for Utah' and he is a co-chair of the GOP Doctors Caucus. He ran for Congress on a platform of reducing costs for families and bringing a doctor's perspective to healthcare policy.

Vote: on "Kennedy voted yea on the OBBBA (H.R. 1), which the Congressional Budget Office projected would cut…"

[ Show full analysis ]

Kennedy built his political identity around being a family physician who would bring a doctor's perspective to healthcare policy while invoking the oath to 'do no harm.' He then voted for the OBBBA — which the CBO projected would cut $1 trillion from Medicaid — and opposed extending ACA enhanced subsidies that keep premiums affordable for over 1-in-10 Utahns. A Salt Lake Tribune letter from a Utah Republican and physician stated plainly: 'Mike Kennedy is betraying both his district and his oath.' The CWA gave him a 0% score for 2025, noting he voted against working people on all key votes including budget reconciliation and healthcare measures.

Kennedy sponsored Utah SB 16 (2023) banning gender-affirming surgeries for transgender minors and placing a moratorium on hormone therapy — calling such procedures 'dangerous and irreversible surgeries on children.' His home was vandalized in retaliation.

[ Show full analysis ]

Kennedy sponsored SB 16, Utah's ban on gender-affirming care for minors, calling the procedures 'dangerous and irreversible' — yet voted against the federal Protect Children's Health Act in December 2025, which would have criminalized those same procedures nationwide. His stated reason (federalism/state discretion) places him in the paradoxical position of supporting a state-level ban while opposing a federal ban on the same procedures. This is a rare same-policy-question reversal: he voted to ban at the state level but to permit at the federal level within two years.

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.
