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 Primary Source Voted nay on H.R. 5009 (National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2025) on 2024-12-11: Amo voted yea on the FY2024 NDAA (December 14, 2023, citing bipartisan provisions including pay raises and climate resilience investments) but nay on the FY2025 NDAA, citing a last-minute Republican-added provision restricting gender-affirming care for service members' families — which he called an 'extreme, partisan culture war provision.' This is a reversal on the same annual must-pass defense authorization bill driven by a specific social-policy rider.
✓ verified Primary Source Voted yea on H.R. 7521 (Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act (TikTok divestiture/ban)) on 2024-03-13: Amo voted with the overwhelming bipartisan majority (352-65) to force ByteDance to divest TikTok or face a U.S. ban. This put him at odds with younger constituents who use the platform and with civil liberties groups concerned about free speech, while aligning with national security hawks. The vote is a clear cross-pressure marker between constituent demographics and security establishment consensus.
Date: 2024-03-13 Added: 01 May 2026 ↗ RECORDS: Roll call: H.R. 7521
✓ verified Primary Source Voted yea on H.R. 7888 (Reforming Intelligence and Securing America Act (FISA Section 702 reauthorization)) on 2024-04-12: Amo voted with the bipartisan majority (273-147) to reauthorize warrantless surveillance powers under FISA Section 702. Civil liberties advocates in his Democratic-leaning district opposed the bill; the national security and intelligence establishment supported it. Amo later reversed this position in April 2026, voting against reauthorization. The vote illustrates cross-pressure between civil-liberties-aligned constituents and national security institutional interests.
✓ verified Primary Source Voted yea on H.Res. 894 (Strongly condemning and denouncing the drastic rise of antisemitism in the United States and around the world (equating anti-Zionism with antisemitism)) on 2023-12-05: Amo voted yea on a resolution declaring anti-Zionism a form of antisemitism, aligning with top donor AIPAC's policy agenda. Progressive Jewish constituents in his district, including the JVP-Rhode Island chapter, publicly opposed the resolution as a smear against anti-Zionist Jews. 92 Democrats voted 'present' rather than support the resolution; Amo was among the 95 Democrats who voted yea. The vote illustrates donor alignment at the expense of a vocal progressive constituency segment.
Date: 2023-12-05 Added: 01 May 2026 ↗ SOURCE: Roll call: H.Res. 894
✓ verified Primary Source [vote] Amo voted yea on the April 2024 foreign aid package that included the Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, providing $26.38 billion in military and defense aid to Israel alongside Ukraine and Indo-Pacific aid and humanitarian assistance to Gaza.
✓ verified Primary Source [vote] Amo voted nay on H.R. 7217, the standalone Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, stating with Rep. Magaziner that Israel's right to self-defense must be paired with humanitarian aid to Gaza and support for Ukraine and the Indo-Pacific. The standalone bill failed 250-180.
✓ verified Primary Source [vote] Amo voted yea on final passage of H.R. 7888, the Reforming Intelligence and Securing America Act, which reauthorized Title VII of FISA including Section 702 warrantless surveillance powers. The bill passed 273-147 (Roll Call 119).
✓ verified Primary Source [statement] Amo voted against House Republicans' efforts to reauthorize the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, stating the bill 'falls short' of protecting Americans' most sensitive personal communications and that 'we can protect our national security without handing Trump's government a blank check.'
✓ verified Partially Corroborated The Pro-Israel industry category contributed $41,363 to Amo's campaign ($27,863 individuals, $13,500 PACs); Building Trade Unions contributed $51,000; Public Sector Unions contributed $25,500.

✓ verified Pending Review [constituency_baseline] District summary: Rhode Island's 1st Congressional District encompasses the northern and eastern portions of the state, including all of Bristol and Newport counties and parts of Providence County — including most of the city of Providence. It serves approximately 546,488 constituents and is rated D+33 by the Cook Partisan Voting Index, making it among the safest Democratic seats in the Northeast. The district is 65.5% White, 20% Hispanic, with the remainder primarily Black and Asian. The median household income is $82,508 (well above the $37,585 national median), with an unemployment rate of 6% and a poverty rate of 8.2%. Homeownership is only 58.1% (vs. 65.5% nationally), and median rent is $1,325 with a median home value of $417,000. The median age is 39.7, and 38.2% hold a bachelor's degree or higher — above the 33.7% national average. The district's economy is anchored by healthcare (Lifespan, Care New England, CVS Health), defense (Raytheon/RTX, General Dynamics Electric Boat, Naval Station Newport), higher education (Brown University, Rhode Island School of Design, University of Rhode Island), and tourism (Newport's historic mansions and sailing). Amo is the first Black member of Congress in Rhode Island's history, elected in a November 2023 special election to succeed retiring Rep. David Cicilline. The district has been held by Democrats since 1995.
Added: 01 May 2026
✓ verified Primary Source Voted nay on H.R. 8281 / SAVE Act (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (proof of citizenship to register to vote)) on 2025-04-10: Amo voted against requiring proof of citizenship to vote, stating the bill 'would make it harder to vote for American veterans serving abroad, married American citizens who have changed their last name, and Americans who do not have a passport.' The vote aligned with his D+33 district's voter-access priorities but placed him squarely against the Republican majority. He called the bill 'fearmongering' and noted noncitizens 'already cannot vote in federal elections.'
Date: 2025-04-10 Added: 01 May 2026 ↗ SOURCE: Roll call: H.R. 8281 / SAVE Act
✓ verified Primary Source Voted nay on H.R. ___ (November 2025 Continuing Resolution) (Continuing Resolution to end the 43-day government shutdown (November 2025)) on 2025-11-12: Amo voted against the CR that ended the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, joining 207 House Democrats in opposition while 6 Democrats joined Republicans to pass it 222–209. He called it 'a bad deal for the American people that doesn't address the Republican health care crisis.' His vote defected from the bipartisan compromise and illustrated his willingness to sustain a shutdown rather than accept a bill without ACA subsidy extensions.
✓ verified Primary Source Voted nay on H.R. 5009 (FY2025 NDAA Conference Report) (Servicemember Quality of Life Improvement and National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2025) on 2024-12-11: Amo reversed his NDAA support, voting against the FY2025 bill because Speaker Johnson 'decided to detonate a bipartisan bill by inserting an extreme, partisan culture war provision' restricting transgender healthcare for service members' children. This reversal on the same policy question (annual NDAA) came despite the bill including a Virginia-class submarine authorization important to Rhode Island's defense sector. He stated the bill 'does not target any community' should be required.
✓ verified Primary Source Voted yea on H.R. 2670 (FY2024 NDAA Conference Report) (National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024) on 2023-12-14: Amo voted for the $886.3 billion NDAA, citing a 5.2% military pay raise and investments in climate resilience. His district is home to Raytheon/RTX, General Dynamics Electric Boat, and Naval Station Newport — defense is a top employer. He acknowledged the bill included provisions making it harder for service members to access abortion but voted Yes nonetheless. The vote aligned with constituent defense-sector employment interests.
Date: 2023-12-14 Added: 01 May 2026 ↗ RECORDS: Roll call: H.R. 2670
✓ verified Primary Source Voted nay on H.R. 1 (One Big Beautiful Bill Act (Trump's 2025 budget reconciliation — Medicaid, SNAP, and tax cuts)) on 2025-07-03: Amo voted with every House Democrat against the bill, which passed 218–214. He called it 'the largest theft in American history to further enrich the richest among us' and highlighted how it 'bludgeons our health care system' and 'snatches families' food assistance.' His district has an 8.2% poverty rate and significant Medicaid/SNAP reliance — the vote aligned with constituent material interests.
Date: 2025-07-03 Added: 01 May 2026 ↗ SOURCE: Roll call: H.R. 1 (119th)
✓ verified Primary Source Voted nay on H.R. 29 (Laken Riley Act (mandatory ICE detention of undocumented immigrants charged with theft-related crimes)) on 2025-01-07: Amo voted with 158 other Democrats against mandatory ICE detention, calling the bill an exploitation of 'a terrible tragedy to score cheap political points.' His D+33 district is 20% Hispanic with significant immigrant communities. The vote aligned with constituent interests in immigrant protections and was consistent with his progressive immigration platform.
✓ verified Primary Source Voted nay on H.R. 8369 (Israel Security Assistance Support Act of 2024 (compelling weapons deliveries to Israel)) on 2024-05-16: Amo voted against legislation to force the delivery of paused weapons to Israel, joining 184 House Democrats in opposition while only 16 Democrats supported the bill. AIPAC strongly backed the bill. Amo's Nay vote represented a donor_defection: he opposed his top contributor's explicit legislative priority. The bill was a Republican response to the Biden administration's pause on certain offensive weapons. Only 3 Republicans voted Nay.
Date: 2024-05-16 Added: 01 May 2026 ↗ SOURCE: Roll call: H.R. 8369
✓ verified Primary Source Voted yea on H.R. 8034 (Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024 (omnibus $26.38 billion package with Ukraine and Indo-Pacific aid)) on 2024-04-20: Seventy-three days after voting against standalone Israel aid, Amo voted for the broader package that included $26.38 billion for Israel. The bill passed 366–58 with overwhelming bipartisan support. This vote aligned squarely with AIPAC's top legislative priority, while Amo's stated rationale — supporting a comprehensive package with humanitarian components — provided policy cover. The pair of votes (Nay on H.R. 7217, Yea on H.R. 8034) illustrates the cross-pressure between donor alignment and constituent-facing progressive positioning on Israel.

✓ verified Primary Source Voted nay on H.R. 7217 (Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024 (standalone $17.6 billion)) on 2024-02-06: Amo voted with 166 House Democrats against the standalone Israel aid bill, citing the absence of Ukraine and humanitarian aid. The bill failed 250–180 (needed 2/3). This vote went against AIPAC's lobbying priority and stands in notable tension with the $82,963 Amo accepted from AIPAC — yet he joined the overwhelming majority of Democrats (78%) in opposition. His joint statement with Magaziner emphasized that humanitarian aid for Gaza was 'vital to the long-term security.'

✓ verified Primary Source Voted yea on H.Res.894 (Strongly condemning and denouncing the drastic rise of antisemitism in the United States and around the world (equating anti-Zionism with antisemitism)) on 2023-12-05: Amo was one of 95 House Democrats who backed this resolution equating anti-Zionism with antisemitism — one of his first major votes after being sworn in. His colleague Rep. Magaziner voted 'Present.' AIPAC, his top donor ($82,963), strongly supported the measure. The vote placed Amo at odds with progressives who warned the resolution threatened First Amendment-protected criticism of Israel. The Providence Progressive called it 'siding with Republicans' as his 'first order of business.'

✓ verified Primary Source [disclosure] During the 2023 primary, the Working Families Party documented that Amo accepted $21,127 from federal lobbyists for Wall Street banks, Big Pharma, Big Oil, and Big Tobacco — plus $8,000+ from lobbyists for Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, Mastercard, and Bitcoin. Amo previously worked as a registered lobbyist for Home Depot.
✓ verified Primary Source [platform] Amo's campaign platform and the Working Families Party criticism highlight his self-presentation as a champion for working families: his website states he 'focused on expanding economic opportunity and protecting working families,' and he co-sponsored the PRO Act and legislation to raise the minimum wage.
✓ verified Primary Source [statement] On August 10, 2025, Amo issued a forceful statement that Prime Minister Netanyahu 'must halt his planned occupation of Gaza City,' that Netanyahu 'has repeatedly prioritized his own interests,' and that the U.S. must see 'a permanent ceasefire, surge of sufficient aid distributed to prevent further famine, ensure all possible steps are taken to protect civilian life.'
✓ verified Primary Source [vote] On December 5, 2023, in one of his first major votes after being sworn in, Amo voted Yea on H.Res.894 — the resolution stating 'anti-Zionism is antisemitism.' The New Republic listed him among the 95 Democrats who backed the resolution, which critics said would 'muzzle criticism of Israel' and threatened First Amendment-protected speech.
✓ verified Primary Source [vote] On April 20, 2024, just 73 days later, Amo voted Yea on the full foreign aid package (including H.R. 8034, the Israel Security Supplemental), stating he was 'glad we are finally taking bipartisan action to show that America will keep its word.'
✓ verified Primary Source [vote] On February 6, 2024, Amo voted Nay on H.R. 7217 — the standalone $17.6 billion Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act — and issued a joint statement with Rep. Magaziner saying 'with heavy hearts, we cannot support this bill in its current form,' citing the bill's lack of Ukraine, humanitarian, and Indo-Pacific aid.
✓ verified Partially Corroborated In his 2025 year-in-review, Amo reported $248.7K of fundraising in Q3 2025 and raised $214.6K in Q1 2026, of which 66.9% came from individual donors.
