As U.S. Representative for NY-20 in the 110th Congress, Gillibrand was a cosponsor of H.R. 6691, the 'Second Amendment Enforcement Act,' which would have repealed the District of Columbia's handgun registration requirement, repealed D.C.'s ban on semiautomatic weapons, prohibited the D.C. Council from enacting future gun-related legislation, and allowed openly carrying loaded rifles on D.C. streets. The NRA cited her support for related legislation and the D.C. v.

Gillibrand's posture on firearms regulation reversed within months of her January 2009 appointment to the Senate — from cosponsoring a bill that would have stripped D.C. of authority to regulate handguns and pre-empted future local gun legislation, to championing federal handgun-trafficking legislation, an assault-weapons ban, and high-capacity-magazine restrictions. Gillibrand has herself acknowledged the reversal on the record, telling CNN in March 2019, 'I didn't do the right thing… I should have cared more about gun violence in other parts of my state or other parts of my country, I just didn't.'

Expected position: As the first Democratic senator to call for Al Franken's resignation over sexual misconduct claims (2017) and a vocal opponent of Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court nomination based on sexual assault allegations (2018), Gillibrand had established herself as a leading voice within the party demanding accountability. When multiple women accused Governor Cuomo of sexual harassment in February 2021, she would be expected to apply the same standard. Evidence of activity on adjacent topics: When initially asked about the allegations on February 25, 2021, Gillibrand said she had not read the accuser's claims and refused to condemn Cuomo, stating 'everyone has a right to be able to come forward, speak their truth and be heard — and that's true for her and it's also true for Governor Cuomo.' She stopped short of calling for his resignation, despite having demanded Franken's resignation in 2017 after similar allegations. She eventually called the allegations 'completely unacceptable' on March 2, 2021, but still did not demand resignation. During this period, she was actively commenting on other political matters, including the COVID-19 relief bill and infrastructure negotiations.

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.
