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: Wisconsin's 6th Congressional District stretches from Lake Michigan through rural, suburban, and exurban communities between Milwaukee, Madison, and Green Bay, including Oshkosh, Fond du Lac, Sheboygan, and parts of Ozaukee County. With approximately 738,897 residents, the district is 87.5% White and heavily Republican (Cook PVI R+23). The median household income is $75,789, well above the national median but below neighboring suburban Milwaukee districts. Homeownership is 71.7% and poverty is just 5.7%. Manufacturing dominates the economy with 92,928 jobs — the most of any congressional district nationally as a share of total employment — followed by health care (47,574) and retail trade (40,279). Key manufacturing employers include Oshkosh Corp (defense vehicles), Sargento Foods, Mercury Marine (Brunswick Corp), and numerous paper and packaging firms. Agriculture is significant, with the district being a major dairy and grain producer. The district is heavily car-dependent (77.6% drive alone) with a short 21.4-minute mean commute. Grothman has held the seat since 2015, winning re-election in 2024 with over 60% of the vote.
Added: 01 May 2026
✓ verified Primary Source Voted nay on H.R. 2550 (Protecting America's Workforce Act (restoring collective bargaining rights for federal workers)) on 2025-12-11: Grothman voted against restoring collective bargaining rights for over one million federal workers. His district's manufacturing-heavy workforce (92,928 manufacturing employees, the largest sector) includes many union members. His top donor Northwestern Mutual's insurance sector is not directly unionized, placing this as an against_constituent vote on labor rights — though notable primarily in the context of his manufacturing constituency rather than donor pressure.
Date: 2025-12-11 Added: 01 May 2026 ↗ RECORDS: Roll call: H.R. 2550
✓ verified Primary Source Voted nay on H.R. 8337 (Continuing Resolution to fund federal government through December 11, 2020) on 2020-09-22: Grothman voted against a continuing resolution that kept the government open, one of only 57 House members (5 Republicans, 52 Democrats dissenting on various grounds). The bill passed 359-57. While Grothman stated he was 'against government shutdowns' and voted no on procedural grounds (insufficient review time), his 2025 claim to be a 'reliable vote to keep the government running' creates cross-pressure with his record. This vote is a reversal from his self-portrayal as a consistent anti-shutdown vote.
Date: 2020-09-22 Added: 01 May 2026 ↗ RECORDS: Roll call: H.R. 8337
✓ verified Primary Source Voted nay on H.R. 7108 (Suspending Normal Trade Relations with Russia and Belarus Act) on 2022-03-17: Grothman was one of only 8 House members (all Republicans including Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert) to vote against stripping Russia of normal trade relations after the Ukraine invasion, while 424 voted yea. 209 of 217 voting Republicans supported the bill; Grothman was among just 3.7% of the GOP conference to defect. He cited Magnitsky Act concerns rather than opposing Russia sanctions on their merits, and later voted for an amended version. This vote was a party_defection by a wide margin.
Date: 2022-03-17 Added: 01 May 2026 ↗ RECORDS: Roll call: H.R. 7108
✓ verified Primary Source Voted yea on H.R. 1 (One Big Beautiful Bill Act (budget reconciliation — Medicaid/SNAP cuts, tax reform)) on 2025-07-03: Grothman voted with a narrow 215-214 Republican majority for a bill that the AFL-CIO and independent estimates project could cause 30,145 constituents in WI-06 to lose health insurance within 10 years and over 280,000 Wisconsinites to lose coverage. His district has 5.7% poverty and significant Medicaid enrollment. Grothman had earlier expressed skepticism about the bill's 'sincerity' and told constituents cutting Medicaid 'would be a mistake,' making this vote an against_constituent reversal. The bill passed by one vote; his was decisive.
Date: 2025-07-03 Added: 01 May 2026 ↗ RECORDS: Roll call: H.R. 1
✓ verified Primary Source [statement] Grothman co-sponsored H.R. 7014, a separate bill that would also suspend normal trade relations with Russia. He stated: 'I adamantly oppose Russia's attack on Ukraine. I support sanctions on Russia. I support the idea of suspending normal trade relations with Russia.'
✓ verified Primary Source [vote] Grothman voted against H.R. 7108, the Suspending Normal Trade Relations with Russia and Belarus Act, one of only 8 House members (all Republicans) to do so on March 17, 2022. He cited concerns about amendments to the Global Magnitsky Act, stating he feared it 'could be used to punish foreign officials who support laws in their home countries opposing abortion rights and same-sex marriage.'
✓ verified Primary Source [vote] On September 22, 2020, Grothman voted Nay on H.R. 8337, a continuing resolution to fund the government through December 11, 2020. He stated he was 'against government shutdowns' but voted no, citing insufficient time to review the 115-page bill. The CR passed 359-57, keeping government open.
✓ verified Primary Source [statement] Grothman told constituents in a 'Special Edition' newsletter that Republicans had 'done everything to keep the government open' and passed a 'clean' continuing resolution, while 'Democrats, out of spite, plotted to shut it down.' He painted himself as 'a reliable vote to keep the government running.'
✓ verified Primary Source [vote] On July 3, 2025, Grothman voted Yea on H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (Roll Call 190), which the AFL-CIO assessed would enact 'devastating cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and other important social safety programs to provide tax-cuts to the rich.' The bill passed 215-214. An analysis projected 30,145 residents in Grothman's district could lose health coverage.
✓ verified Primary Source [statement] At the Algoma Town Hall in Oshkosh on February 21, 2025, Grothman told constituents that cutting Medicaid funding 'would be a mistake' and, when asked if he would oppose a government funding bill with cuts to Social Security and Medicaid, replied 'Certainly, if Social Security is cut. And Medicaid, we'll have to see.'
