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: Oklahoma's 2nd Congressional District spans approximately one-fourth of the state, covering 24 counties across eastern Oklahoma from the Kansas border south to the Red River, and from the Tulsa exurbs east to the Arkansas border. It is the most Republican district in Oklahoma (R+29 Cook PVI) and has not elected a Democrat to Congress since 1923. The district is 64% rural and includes towns such as Muskogee, Durant, McAlester, and Claremore. The economy is anchored by tribal nations (Choctaw Nation and Cherokee Nation are among the largest employers), healthcare, agriculture (ranching, poultry), energy, and manufacturing. The population of approximately 804,000 is 63.7% White, 18% Native American — one of the highest proportions in any congressional district — with smaller Hispanic, Black, and multiracial populations. Key economic indicators reflect deep rural poverty: median household income of $55,652, 13.5% poverty rate, 5.2% unemployment, 71.6% homeownership, and only 19.9% holding a bachelor's degree. Approximately one-third of constituents are enrolled in Medicaid following Oklahoma's 2020 ballot initiative expanding coverage. Brecheen, a fourth-generation rancher and enrolled member of the Choctaw Nation, was first elected in 2022 and serves on the House Budget and Homeland Security committees.

✓ verified Primary Source Voted yea on H.R. 1 (One Big Beautiful Bill Act — Budget Reconciliation (Concurrence in Senate Amendment)) on 2025-07-03: Brecheen voted Yea on final passage after initially voting Nay in committee on May 16, 2025, where he joined four other Freedom Caucus members in blocking the bill over insufficient Medicaid cuts and renewable-energy tax-credit phaseouts. His reversal came after securing modifications. OK-02 has a 13.5% poverty rate, $55,652 median income, and roughly one-third of constituents rely on Medicaid (Oklahoma expanded Medicaid via SQ 802 in 2020). Brecheen himself pushed for deeper cuts to Medicaid and SNAP — programs his constituents disproportionately rely on. Top donor industries (oil & gas, real estate, leadership PACs) benefited from the bill's tax and regulatory provisions, creating a stark cross-pressure between donor interests and constituent material need.
Date: 2025-07-03 Added: 02 May 2026 ↗ SOURCE: Roll call: H.R. 1 (119th)
✓ verified Primary Source Voted nay on H.R. 3746 (Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 (Biden-McCarthy Debt Ceiling Agreement)) on 2023-05-31: Brecheen was one of 71 House Republicans to reject the compromise debt-ceiling deal, which passed 314-117 with more Democratic than Republican votes. He opposed the bill because it preserved too much spending and jettisoned the deeper cuts from the Limit, Save, Grow Act. His first-year expected cuts fell from $900 billion to just $12 billion. Brecheen's vote bucked Speaker McCarthy and the 149 Republicans who backed the deal.
Date: 2023-05-31 Added: 02 May 2026 ↗ SOURCE: Roll call: H.R. 3746
✓ verified Primary Source Voted nay on H.R. 8035 (Ukraine Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024 ($60.8 billion aid package)) on 2024-04-20: Brecheen voted against additional Ukraine aid, joining 112 of 213 House Republicans in opposition while 101 Republicans supported it. GOP for Ukraine gave him an 'F' grade, noting he consistently opposed Ukraine funding across multiple measures. Brecheen argued America must 'secure our own border first.' The tension: Oklahoma's 2nd district includes defense manufacturing and tribal contractors who benefit from global stability, but Brecheen's isolationist stance aligned with the GOP's ascendant populist wing.

✓ verified Primary Source [statement] "Ma'am, you are talking about things relative to state level. So you're mixing federal and state... Oklahoma, if you want to have that conversation about grocery taxes, they've been having that conversation." — Rep. Josh Brecheen at a town hall meeting in Pryor, Oklahoma, August 2025, deflecting a constituent's question about what he has done to lower grocery prices by claiming food prices are a state-level issue.
✓ verified Primary Source [statement] "Prices are up more than 19% under President Biden. President Biden's America is completely unaffordable." — Rep. Josh Brecheen, June 2024, blaming the Biden administration for inflation and rising consumer prices.
✓ verified Partially Corroborated Only 18.1% of Brecheen's 2024 cycle itemized individual contributions came from within Oklahoma; 81.9% came from out-of-state donors, with the largest share from Washington, DC, Virginia, and Texas.
✓ verified Primary Source In the 2025-2026 cycle, Brecheen's campaign committee raised $108,494 through March 2026, with $48,500 from PACs and $59,994 from individual contributions per FEC filings.
✓ verified Partially Corroborated Brecheen serves on the House Budget Committee and the Homeland Security Committee. He is a member of the House Freedom Caucus. He previously served as a staffer for Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) and in the Oklahoma State Senate, where he was rated the third most conservative member.
✓ verified Partially Corroborated Pennsylvania billionaire Jeff Yass spent $3.4 million through his School Freedom Fund PAC to help Brecheen win his 2022 Republican primary. According to FEC filings, all $15 million contributed to the School Freedom Fund came from options trader Jeff Yass.
✓ verified Partially Corroborated In the 2023-2024 election cycle, Rep. Josh Brecheen's campaign committee raised $331,851: 67.68% from large individual contributions ($224,791), 28.45% from PAC contributions ($94,500), and 3.87% from small donors ($12,860). Top contributing industries: Republican/Conservative ($59,720), Retired ($36,100), Leadership PACs ($35,000), Pro-Israel ($24,500).
