Larsen voted Nay on the continuing resolution (H.R. 5371) on November 12, 2025 that ended the 43-day government shutdown — the longest in U.S. history. He stated he voted no because the resolution 'Allows health care costs to skyrocket for 26,000 people I represent and rips health care away from 8,000 people I represent' and 'does nothing to roll back the Big Ugly Law's devastating cuts to Medicaid.'

Larsen voted against the continuing resolution that ended the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, citing healthcare concerns. Within a week, he took credit for $2.165 million in USDA community project funding — and millions more in other earmarks — that were 'made possible' by the same appropriations process he voted against. The NRCC explicitly named Larsen among Democrats on a 'hypocrisy tour' for this contradiction.

His shifting votes on ICE funding — Nay on Laken Riley, Yea on temporary DHS funding, Nay on permanent DHS funding — reflect a legislator navigating between progressive immigration positioning and the governing realities of keeping the government open.

Larsen served on the House Armed Services Committee for 22 years — one of the longest tenures of any member — and was the top Democratic recipient of defense industry contributions among Washington state representatives.

Larsen's 99% AFL-CIO lifetime score and progressive voting record sit in some tension with his career-long acceptance of substantial defense and transportation industry PAC contributions. A progressive primary challenger documented that Larsen took more than $1.75 million from defense and transportation industries — whose interests he advanced through his Armed Services and Transportation Committee positions — while refusing to support Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, or a House resolution to overturn corporate personhood.

Larsen voted Nay on the Fiscal Year 2025 NDAA on June 14, 2024, stating he opposed it because 'the House GOP transformed a bipartisan bill into extreme legislation that restricts access to reproductive health care and harms servicemembers.'

[auto-downgraded: both claims come from the same source host] Larsen voted against the FY2025 NDAA, condemning it as 'extreme legislation,' while simultaneously touting the military pay raises, school Impact Aid, frigate homeporting, and AI provisions he had secured within the same bill. His own press release celebrated these provisions as wins for his district even as he voted against the legislation that contained them. Larsen's Boeing and defense-industry donors ($1.75M+ career) benefited from the defense spending he publicly opposed.

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.
