inferential · 2024-06-30

inferential · 2023-05-31
The April 2024 Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act (H.R. 8034) included $9.15 billion in humanitarian assistance for Gaza, a key provision absent from the stand-alone Israel aid bills Vasquez voted against in November 2023 and February 2024.
inferential · 2024-04-20
Vasquez's district (NM-2) has the highest Hispanic population share (60.5%) and poverty rate (16.6%) among the districts represented by the four House Democrats who voted against the November 2023 stand-alone Israel bill but for the April 2024 package.
inferential · 2024-04-20
Vasquez's largest pro-Israel donor, JStreetPAC ($115,268), publicly advocated for conditioning aid on humanitarian access, aligning with Vasquez's 'nay' vote on H.R. 6126.
inferential · 2023-11-02
Gabe Vasquez received $115,268 from JStreetPAC in the 2024 election cycle, making it his largest single contributor, and JStreetPAC was actively running campaigns to support the April 2024 Israel-Gaza aid package.
inferential · 2024-06-30
Vasquez accepted $115,268 from JStreetPAC—his top 2024-cycle contributor—which publicly advocated conditioning aid on Israel's commitment to a two-state solution in 2023.
inferential · 2024-06-30
Vasquez's 2018 statement calling for ending fossil fuels 'immediately' is consistent with progressive policy preferences that would also support conditioning military aid on humanitarian outcomes.

In a March 27, 2018 podcast, Vasquez said of oil and gas extraction: 'A lot of folks in the environmental community will say, Shut it all down. Let's just get rid of it immediately, let's put in the infrastructure to get clean energy. And I agree with that.' He added, 'We do have to end it all,' referring to fossil fuel-based energy.

Expected position: Vasquez represents a district with significant Navajo constituents and had previously applauded the Biden administration's proposed rule to limit oil and gas activity around Chaco Canyon. When the rule was finalized, the Navajo Nation expressed concern about being excluded from the process despite being directly affected. Evidence of activity on adjacent topics: Vasquez had issued statements applauding the Chaco Canyon protections before the rule was finalized. During this two-week window after the Navajo Nation raised concerns about being ignored, Vasquez remained publicly silent while actively commenting on other energy and tribal 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.
