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: Tennessee's 1st Congressional District encompasses the northeastern corner of the state, including all of Carter, Cocke, Greene, Hamblen, Hancock, Hawkins, Johnson, Sullivan, Unicoi, and Washington counties, plus parts of Jefferson and Sevier counties. The district is home to approximately 782,000 constituents and is rated R+30 by the Cook Partisan Voting Index — making it the most Republican district in Tennessee. The median age is 43.9 years (older than the national average of 38.5), and the population is predominantly White (89.4%). The median household income is $57,829, which is above the national median of $37,585, though this masks significant rural poverty. Only 23.2% of residents hold a bachelor's degree or higher, significantly below the 33.7% national average. Homeownership is high at 72.2% (vs. 65.5% nationally), and the district has a median commute time of 24.9 minutes. The district has struggled with the opioid epidemic and rural hospital strain, and manufacturing and healthcare are dominant economic drivers.
Added: 01 May 2026
✓ verified AI Inference Voted yea on H.R. 7147 (Further Additional Continuing Appropriations Act, 2026 (End to DHS Shutdown)) on 2026-04-30: Harshbarger voted to end the longest government shutdown in U.S. history (76 days), which was primarily affecting DHS operations including ICE, CBP, and Coast Guard.

✓ verified Primary Source Voted yea on H.R. 2811 (Limit, Save, Grow Act of 2023) on 2023-04-26: Harshbarger voted for the GOP debt ceiling bill that included work requirements for Medicaid and SNAP recipients.

✓ verified Primary Source Voted yea on H.R. 7881 (FY24 National Security Supplemental) on 2024-04-20: Harshbarger voted for the foreign aid package that included $26 billion in aid to Israel and $61 billion to Ukraine.

✓ verified Primary Source Voted yea on H.R. 2670 (National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024) on 2023-07-14: Harshbarger's district is economically dependent on manufacturing and defense-related industries.

However, the bill also included provisions extending surveillance authorities that have been criticized by civil liberties advocates in her conservative district.
