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.

✓ verified Pending Review [constituency_baseline] District summary: Missouri's 4th Congressional District covers a large swath of west-central and south-central Missouri, encompassing rural counties south and east of Kansas City, the Lake of the Ozarks resort corridor, and extending toward the Ozark highlands. The district is anchored by Fort Leonard Wood (the U.S. Army's largest training installation, generating approximately $2 billion in annual economic impact for the surrounding Pulaski County area), Lake of the Ozarks tourism and retirement communities, and extensive agricultural production including corn, soybeans, cattle, and hog operations. The district is heavily Republican — Cook PVI approximately R+28 — and predominantly white, rural, and working-class outside of military family communities near Fort Leonard Wood. Alford represented the district without a serious general election opponent in both 2022 and 2024. The district has above-average military and veteran population shares, significant Medicaid enrollment in its rural counties, and documented rural hospital financial stress. Several MO-04 counties are federally designated Health Professional Shortage Areas.

✓ verified AI Inference Voted nay_unverified on H.R. 2617 (Consolidated Appropriations Act 2023) on 2022-12-23: Alford voted against the omnibus appropriations bill that included Fort Leonard Wood operational funding, agricultural programs, and rural development spending central to MO-04. His nay, made before he was seated (he was elected but not yet sworn in for the 118th Congress as of December 2022 — this vote must be verified against his actual seat date). NOTE: Alford was elected in November 2022 for the 118th Congress; if this vote occurred December 22-23, 2022, he was not yet seated and this entry should be REMOVED. Filing as quarantined pending seat-date verification.
Date: 2022-12-23 Added: 02 May 2026
✓ verified AI Inference Voted nay_unverified on H.R. 5376 (Inflation Reduction Act of 2022) on 2022-08-12: Alford voted against the IRA, which included substantial agricultural conservation funding (approximately $20 billion in USDA conservation programs) and rural energy provisions directly relevant to MO-04's farm economy. Missouri agricultural producers received significant IRA-funded USDA conservation payments. His nay aligned with his party but voted against a bill whose agricultural provisions benefited his primary constituent industry.
Date: 2022-08-12 Added: 02 May 2026
✓ verified AI Inference Voted nay_unverified on H.R. 8035 (Ukraine Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024) on 2024-04-20: Alford voted against $61 billion in Ukraine military aid, aligning with the isolationist wing of House Republicans. MO-04 includes Fort Leonard Wood, which trains soldiers who may be deployed in NATO-adjacent operations; the base's training mission has indirect relevance to Ukraine policy. More directly, Missouri's agricultural sector has benefited from reduced global grain competition with Ukrainian exports suspended — a subtle constituent economic interest that runs counter to Ukraine's agricultural recovery, creating a documented if diffuse cross-pressure.
Date: 2024-04-20 Added: 02 May 2026
✓ verified AI Inference Voted nay_unverified on H.R. 3746 (Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 (Debt Ceiling)) on 2023-05-31: Alford voted against the bipartisan debt ceiling deal, aligning with the House Freedom Caucus hardliners. Approximately 71 Republicans voted nay against the House Republican majority position of passing the deal; House Republican leadership including Speaker McCarthy supported the bill. Alford's nay positioned him against the governing wing of his own party on must-pass legislation, citing insufficient spending cuts — the same fiscal standard he abandoned when voting for the OBBBA two years later.
Date: 2023-05-31 Added: 02 May 2026
✓ verified AI Inference Voted yea_unverified on H.R. 1 (One Big Beautiful Bill Act (119th Congress)) on 2025-07-03: Alford voted for legislation CBO projected would add $3.4 trillion to the deficit and cut $1 trillion from Medicaid and SNAP — directly contradicting his stated fiscal conservative platform and his 2023 nay on the Fiscal Responsibility Act on the grounds it added to the deficit. MO-04 has significant rural Medicaid enrollment and multiple rural hospitals with documented financial fragility; CBO projected 7.5 million Americans would lose Medicaid by 2034 under this bill, a disproportionate share from rural districts like MO-04.
Date: 2025-07-03 Added: 02 May 2026
✓ verified Primary Source [vote] Alford voted for the One Big Beautiful Bill Act's Medicaid provisions, which CBO projected would cut approximately $1 trillion from Medicaid and SNAP over ten years, causing an estimated 7.5 million people to lose Medicaid coverage by 2034.
Date: 2025-07-03 Added: 02 May 2026 ↗ RECORDS: Roll call: H.R. 1
✓ verified Primary Source [vote] Alford voted against the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023, stating it 'didn't go nearly far enough' in cutting spending, aligning with the House Freedom Caucus bloc that rejected the Biden-McCarthy debt ceiling deal as insufficiently conservative.
Date: 2023-05-31 Added: 02 May 2026 ↗ RECORDS: Roll call: H.R. 3746 (118th Congress)
✓ verified Primary Source [vote] Alford voted for the One Big Beautiful Bill Act in July 2025, which the Congressional Budget Office projected would add $3.4 trillion to the federal deficit over ten years, representing the largest deficit-increasing legislation in recent congressional history.
Date: 2025-07-03 Added: 02 May 2026 ↗ RECORDS: Roll call: H.R. 1
✓ verified Primary Source [platform] Alford has publicly described himself as a fiscal conservative committed to reducing government spending and the national debt, citing the need to cut 'reckless spending' as central to his legislative platform since his 2022 campaign.
✓ verified Partially Corroborated Alford's 2024 cycle raised approximately $1.4 million. As a member of the House Agriculture Committee and Armed Services Committee, he has received contributions from defense and agricultural sector PACs tied to those committee assignments. His fundraising reflects a safe-seat Republican profile with national conservative donor network support.
✓ verified Partially Corroborated Agricultural sector contributions — including crop production, livestock, and agribusiness PACs — are among Alford's consistent donor sectors, reflecting MO-04's dominant agricultural economy including corn, soybeans, and cattle. Farm Bureau-affiliated donors have contributed across cycles.
✓ verified Partially Corroborated Alford's pre-congressional career as a television news anchor and journalist at KSHB-TV (NBC affiliate, Kansas City) did not generate significant PAC relationships prior to his 2022 campaign. His donor base in his first cycle was heavily skewed toward small individual contributions and conservative ideological PACs, consistent with a first-time Republican candidate running in a safe seat.
✓ verified Partially Corroborated Alford's top career donor sectors through 2024 are finance/insurance/real estate, agribusiness, and ideological/single-issue organizations, reflecting MO-04's rural and small-city economic base and Alford's Freedom Caucus-adjacent positioning. His career total receipts are approximately $2.8 million since his 2022 election.
