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.

His district has a median household income of $90,346 and a 8.6% poverty rate, and the budget framework's potential Medicaid and SNAP cuts could disproportionately affect lower-income constituents in agricultural communities in Kings, Tulare, and Fresno counties. Fong publicly stated the bill would 'unlock American energy, secure our border, and deliver tax relief for Central Valley families,' prioritizing party-line messaging over potential safety-net impacts.
