[ Show full donor-interest summary ]
Expected position: As a Marine veteran, member of the House Armed Services Committee, and Democrat in a progressive Massachusetts district, Moulton would be expected to articulate a position on the Israel-Hamas war and calls for a ceasefire. Fellow Massachusetts delegation members including Pressley, Warren, and Markey had already called for a ceasefire by late 2023. Evidence of activity on adjacent topics: Between October 7, 2023 and March 18, 2024, Moulton issued press releases on infrastructure funding, antisemitism on college campuses, and military construction projects, but made no substantive public statement on the Gaza war or a ceasefire. His first formal statement on Gaza came March 19, 2024, over five months after the October 7 attack, when he called for a bilateral ceasefire. During his silence, Moulton continued actively issuing statements on other topics, including a November 2023 statement on antisemitism at universities and multiple December 2023-January 2024 statements on infrastructure and veteran issues.

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.
