Voted nay on H.R. 5692 (Ukraine Security Assistance and Oversight Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2023 ($300 million in Ukraine aid)) on 2023-09-28: Letlow voted against the 2023 Ukraine supplemental, reversing her 2022 pro-Ukraine stance. This was the first major Ukraine funding vote where she broke from her earlier internationalist record. The GOP for Ukraine organization cited this vote among the factors that dropped her grade. Her top defense-sector donors (Northrop Grumman PAC $10,000; Misc Defense industry $91,669) historically back robust international engagement, creating tension between isolationist voting and donor foreign-policy preferences. Prior pro-Ukraine vote: 2022 Ukraine Supplemental Appropriation (May 2022).

At a July 2025 interview with KTVE, Letlow said: "Nobody's gonna lose their SNAP benefits. I don't believe the fear mongering that goes with that," when asked about the impact of the One Big Beautiful Bill's food assistance cuts on Louisiana residents.

Vote: on "The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office projected the One Big Beautiful Bill Act would result…"

Letlow dismissed CBO projections of SNAP benefit losses as 'fear mongering,' yet the nonpartisan scorekeeper projected 5.3 million families would lose food assistance under the very bill she voted for. Her district has a 19.5% poverty rate and 131,300 adult Medicaid enrollees, making it one of the most…

Letlow's congressional office acknowledged the STOCK Act violation in January 2026: "Congresswoman Letlow did not direct, approve, or have prior knowledge of any trades. They were executed independently by a third-party firm with discretionary authority over a managed account. This was a delayed reporting issue under the STOCK Act and not insider trading." Letlow proactively alerted the House Ethics Committee.

Vote: on "The same week Letlow's STOCK Act violation became public, the Republican-led House Administration…"

Both facts come from the same secondary coverage of Letlow's STOCK Act violations. Letlow blamed Merrill Lynch for the 210 late trade disclosures, while the same week House Republicans advanced a congressional stock-trading ban — highlighting the tension between her personal noncompliance with transparency law and…

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.
