PoliticsNC columnist Thomas Mills published 'Saving us from the SAVE Act' on March 18, 2026, writing: 'I sure am enjoying the unleashed Thom Tillis. I wish he had shown up earlier. Of course, if he had, he might well be on his way to re-election, something I definitely would not enjoy'—a left-of-center endorsement of Tillis's rightward institutionalist rebellion against Trump.

Tillis defended his dog parade against critics by retorting: 'They're either sad cases or cat owners... It was a 45-minute session. I can walk and chew gum at the same time'—a response that dismissed conservative backlash while simultaneously underscoring the procedural reality that a 45-minute unanimous consent resolution is not remotely comparable to a multi-week floor debate requiring 60 votes.
primary · 2026-02-27 ✓ Verified
Tillis was one of four Republican senators (with Collins, Murkowski, and McConnell) to block attaching SAVE Act provisions to the budget reconciliation package on April 23, 2026, providing a second procedural defeat for the legislation after the March floor failure.
primary · 2026-04-23 ✓ Verified
The Senate voted 51-48 on March 17, 2026 to open debate on the SAVE America Act—Tillis did not vote, was absent from the floor—and spent a full week in marathon debate before the cloture motion failed 53-47 on March 26, 2026, with Tillis voting Nay along with Senators Collins, Murkowski, and Schumer.
primary · 2026-03-26 ✓ Verified
Tillis publicly declared on March 13, 2026: 'I'm a no. I'm going to do everything I can to prevent it from even moving forward,' and called the SAVE America Act push 'lazy and unstrategic,' specifically objecting to provisions added at the White House's demand that would ban mail-in voting and restrict transgender participation in sports and healthcare without 'understanding the state-by-state implications.'

Senator Thom Tillis authored and secured passage of Senate Resolution 611 by unanimous consent on February 12, 2026, authorizing the 'Bipawtisan Doggi Gras Pawrade' to be held in the Hart Senate Office Building atrium on February 25, 2026—the final such parade Tillis would host before his retirement from the Senate.

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.
