[constituency_baseline] District summary: Maryland's 2nd Congressional District covers parts of Baltimore and Carroll counties plus a sliver of Baltimore City, anchored by communities such as Towson, Dundalk, Owings Mills, Pikesville, and Woodlawn.

Voted nay on H.R. 4371 (Kayla Hamilton Act (Unaccompanied Alien Children Placement Requirements)) on 2025-12-16: Olszewski voted against a bill named for a 20-year-old murder victim from Aberdeen, Maryland — in his home state — joining 201 Democrats in opposition. The bill passed 225-201 with only 7 Democratic defections. Maryland Democrats cited concerns the bill could harm children by requiring HHS to consider additional background information in placement determinations. The cross-pressure: honoring a Maryland victim's family versus progressive immigration and child-welfare policy.

Voted nay on H.R. 5371 (Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2026 (Ended 42-Day Government Shutdown)) on 2025-11-12: Olszewski voted against ending the longest government shutdown in U.S. history despite his district's heavy reliance on federal employment — an estimated 150,000 Maryland federal workers went without paychecks and SNAP benefits were running out. He justified his 'difficult' no vote by objecting to the exclusion of ACA subsidy extensions and a provision allowing senators to write themselves $1 million checks for subpoenaed phone records. The cross-pressure: constituent economic pain versus principled opposition to what he called a 'false choice' that failed to protect working families from skyrocketing health premiums.

[statement] In his second vote against the GOP budget reconciliation bill, Olszewski said: "Words fail to capture the devastation this bill will inflict on my constituents and every hard-working family in our country," citing 14,000 constituents losing Medicaid and 25,000 SNAP households facing cuts.

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.
