Last contradiction analysis: Never
reversal 90/100
Platform: "Webster voted against H.R. 1, the American Rescue Plan Act, calling it 'liberal pork' that spends less than 9% on combating COVID and includes a '$86 "
Vote: on "Webster voted for H.R. 1 (119th), the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, celebrating it as 'the largest tax"
Webster condemned the $1.9T American Rescue Plan as fiscally ruinous 'liberal pork' in 2021, yet voted in 2025 for the OBBB which the CBO projected would add trillions to the deficit — a far larger fiscal impact than the relief package he opposed — w

Platform: "Webster's campaign biography emphasizes his business background and fiscal conservatism. He states he 'consistently votes against Congressional budget"
Vote: on "Webster voted against H.R. 3684, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, on November 5, 2021. On"
Webster claims he 'consistently votes against Congressional budgets that contain irresponsible spending,' but voted for the OBBB, which the CBO projected would add trillions to the deficit — a direct contradiction of his stated fiscal principles.

Webster voted for the FRA in 2023 as a fiscal step forward, then voted for the OBBB in 2025 which unwound many of the same spending constraints, while defending his Ukraine 'no' vote on fiscal grounds — a selectively applied deficit concern that give

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
Silence Risk25%Topics where donors have interests but the official is silent
Contradiction Risk25%Stated positions contradicted by voting record (recent findings boosted)
Connection Density20%Mapped relationships to lobbyists, contractors, interest groups
Intelligence Volume10%Documented facts from verified sources (logarithmic scale)
Donor Influence10%Distinct donors with interests overlapping committee jurisdiction
Constituency Deviation5%Gap between district priorities and legislative focus
Voting Misalignment5%Floor votes contradicting stated platform positions

Each component produces a raw score 0–100. The weighted sum yields the overall score. Tier thresholds: Critical ≥ 45, High ≥ 36, Elevated ≥ 22, Moderate ≥ 10, Low < 10.

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.
