Voted nay on H.Res. (Omar Censure) (Censuring Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota — On Motion to Table) on 2025-09-17: Self voted against tabling (i.e., killing) the censure resolution against Rep. Ilhan Omar, joining most Republicans. However, the resolution was ultimately tabled 214-213 with four Republicans joining Democrats. Self's vote to allow the censure to proceed is consistent with his pattern of…

Voted nay on H.R. 3944 (Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2026 — On Motion to Instruct Conferees) on 2025-09-11: Self voted against instructing House conferees on the Military Construction/VA spending bill. His district has a large veteran population (Gulf War-era veterans are the largest cohort in TX-03) and he serves on the Veterans' Affairs Committee, making constituent interest in VA funding high. The nay vote aligned with the party majority but may have been driven by broader spending-cut ideology rather than veteran-specific concerns.

Voted nay_unverified on H.R. 8035 (Ukraine Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024) on 2024-04-20: Self opposed standalone Ukraine aid despite his district's significant defense and aerospace sector presence (Raytheon/RTX subsidiary Collins Aerospace in DFW metro). He also voted against the procedural rule that packaged Ukraine aid with Israel aid — noteworthy because his top donor, AIPAC ($18,100 in 2024 cycle), strongly supported the Israel component of the package. Self argued each foreign aid bill should be considered on its own merit, pitting donor-aligned Israel support against his fiscal conservative stance.

Within approximately 9.5 hours, Self went from publicly calling the bill 'morally and fiscally bankrupt' to voting to advance it and then voting for final passage.

Economic impact of Trump administration tariffs on Texas 3rd Congressional District

438d silent

[ Show full donor-interest summary ]

Expected position: As the representative of a suburban Dallas district with major employers including Toyota North America, JPMorgan Chase, and Liberty Mutual — all sensitive to trade policy — Self would be expected to address how tariffs affect his constituents' cost of living and local business conditions. Evidence of activity on adjacent topics: During the same window, Self was active on trade-related issues: he praised Kosovo trade in social media posts (February 2026), criticized USAID (February 2025), and discussed trade policy at Chamber of Commerce events (July 2025). He also actively cheered Trump deportation numbers during this period. However, when a global trade war escalated and Texas businesses faced tariff impacts, Self did not publicly address the local economic pain — a gap documented by local outlet TX3DNews.

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.
