[constituency_baseline] District summary: Georgia's 6th Congressional District covers northern Atlanta suburban counties including portions of Fulton, Cobb, and Cherokee counties following post-2020 redistricting. The district is predominantly suburban and exurban, with a median household income significantly above the national median, reflecting the professional class of the northern Atlanta corridor. The district has trended competitive since 2018 after decades of Republican dominance, driven by demographic change as college-educated suburban voters moved away from the Republican Party. Major employers include the healthcare sector (Wellstar Health System is a dominant regional employer), financial services firms clustered in the Buckhead and Cumberland business districts, and technology companies with Atlanta-area offices. The University of Georgia and Georgia Tech feeder communities are present at the district's edges. The district is approximately 60% white non-Hispanic, with growing Black, Hispanic, and Asian-American populations particularly in the Cobb and southern Fulton portions. Gun violence — the defining issue of McBath's political identity — is a documented concern: Georgia's gun death rate is above the national average and suburban Atlanta has experienced high-profile incidents that animated the 2018 political environment in which McBath was first elected.

[ Show full platform position ]

McBath voted for the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 (debt ceiling deal), which included spending caps that her progressive colleagues argued would constrain the domestic investment programs she had supported, including healthcare and climate provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act.

Vote: on "McBath has publicly advocated for expanded Medicaid access and healthcare affordability as central…"

[ Show full analysis ]

McBath voted for the Fiscal Responsibility Act's spending caps while publicly maintaining a platform of expanded healthcare investment — her yes vote on a bill her progressive caucus colleagues argued would constrain domestic health spending creates a documented tension between stated platform and revealed legislative preference. This is a position evolution rather than reversal: the underlying healthcare commitment appears consistent, but the fiscal constraints she accepted mark a material departure from the posture her platform implies.

Aladdin / BlackRock concentration risk and federal employee retirement infrastructure

1766d silent

[ Show full donor-interest summary ]

Expected position: McBath serves on the House Energy and Commerce Committee and her district includes significant federal employee and military veteran populations whose Thrift Savings Plan retirement assets are managed by BlackRock via Aladdin. The lack of competitive rebidding of TSP index fund management and the documented conflict of interest in the 2020 COVID facility contracts fall within Energy and Commerce's oversight mandate. Evidence of activity on adjacent topics: McBath has been publicly active on healthcare, gun violence, and constituent services throughout this period, demonstrating consistent engagement on committee-adjacent issues. Her Energy and Commerce Committee work generated multiple press statements on healthcare pricing and pharmaceutical costs. No statement on the Federal Reserve's no-bid engagement of BlackRock to manage COVID facilities, or on the absence of competitive bidding for TSP management despite the program covering millions of federal employees and military members.

Palantir's ImmigrationOS deployment and its intersection with Georgia's immigrant communities

730d silent

[ Show full donor-interest summary ]

Expected position: Georgia's 6th Congressional District (current) and its predecessor districts represented by McBath include significant immigrant communities in the northern Atlanta suburbs. Palantir's ImmigrationOS platform, funded by the same OBBBA legislation McBath voted against, runs ICE detention operations. McBath has spoken on immigration and has a documented voting record on related legislation, making this a directly relevant topic where public analysis of the specific platform implementation would be expected. Evidence of activity on adjacent topics: McBath has issued statements on immigration policy and voted on immigration-adjacent legislation including the Laken Riley Act, demonstrating she was actively engaged on the broad topic. No public statement specifically addresses Palantir's ImmigrationOS contract or its operational implications for the communities she represents. Primary URL: https://mcbath.house.gov/media

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.
