In 2021, Mrvan voted three times against providing $1 billion in supplemental funding for Israel's Iron Dome missile defense system — joining a small group of House progressives including Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. His Republican challenger condemned these votes as 'turn[ing] his back on Israel.'

Vote: on "On February 6, 2024, Mrvan voted Aye on H.R. 7217, the $17.6 billion Israel Security Supplemental…"

[ Show full analysis ]

Mrvan voted three times to block Iron Dome funding in 2021, then voted for Israel's largest supplemental aid packages in 2024 and gave a floor speech endorsing unconditional support. This represents a complete reversal on the same policy question — U.S. military funding for Israel's defensive capabilities — under the same statutory hook (congressional appropriations for Israeli defense). While the 2021 votes targeted a specific missile defense system and the 2024 bills were broader supplemental packages, both addressed U.S. military assistance to Israel and the same enforcement mechanism. The two source hosts differ (nytimes.com vs. mrvan.house.gov), satisfying the independent-outlet requirement.

Mrvan co-sponsored H.R. 1 (2021), the For the People Act — a sweeping campaign finance reform bill designed to reduce the influence of large donors, PACs, and special interest money in politics. His campaign platform emphasizes 'getting big money out of politics.'

Vote: on "Mrvan's 2023-2024 campaign raised $1,179,603 from PACs (37.06% of total fundraising), with his top…"

[ Show full analysis ]

Mrvan campaigned on reducing the influence of big money in politics and co-sponsored H.R. 1, yet his own fundraising relies heavily on PACs (37% of total) and his top donor is AIPAC. His political career was boosted by a PAC almost entirely funded by a single donor who had received a lucrative government contract from Mrvan — a textbook pay-to-play arrangement that campaign finance reform is designed to prevent. The two source hosts differ (ontheissues.org vs. opensecrets.org), satisfying the independent-outlet requirement.

Campaign spending on wife's flights and luxury dining — no public statement addressing the personal-benefit appearance while representing a working-class district

1379d silent

[ Show full donor-interest summary ]

Expected position: As a Democrat representing the union-heavy, working-class Northwest Indiana district where median household income is $73,983, Mrvan would be expected to publicly address allegations that his campaign spent $4,012 on his wife's flights and seat upgrades, and $85,000+ on food and catering. His Republican challengers have repeatedly attacked these expenses, and campaign finance rules prohibit personal use. Evidence of activity on adjacent topics: Mrvan has been publicly active throughout this period, issuing press releases on steel tariffs, BP labor disputes, domestic steel amendments, and government shutdown impacts. He has held town halls and engaged constituents. However, a search of his official press releases, floor statements, and media interviews reveals no substantive public response to the flight upgrade or campaign dining allegations — a silence that has allowed Republican campaign committees to define the narrative.

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.
