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: Massachusetts's 9th Congressional District covers Cape Cod, the South Coast (including New Bedford and Fall River), and parts of the South Shore and South Boston suburbs. It is the least Democratic district in Massachusetts (Cook PVI D+6) but still leans Democratic. The population of approximately 788,000 is predominantly White (83.1%), with a significant Portuguese-speaking community. The median age of 46.8 is well above the national average, and 17% of residents are over 70. The median household income is $100,749, poverty is low at 5.4%, and homeownership is high at 76.2%. The economy is driven by tourism, healthcare, fishing, higher education, and marine research (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution). Key concerns include coastal erosion, opioid addiction, veteran services, and maintaining the Cape's seasonal tourism economy.
Added: 28 Apr 2026
✓ verified Primary Source Voted nay on H.R. 23 (Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act (ICC sanctions over Israel arrest warrants)) on 2025-01-09: Keating voted against imposing sanctions on the ICC for issuing arrest warrants against Israeli officials. He was among 140 Democrats who opposed the bill (against 45 who supported it). While AIPAC contributed only $6,000 to his 2023-2024 campaign, the vote placed Keating with House progressives who opposed the bill as undermining international justice. His district includes a growing Portuguese and Brazilian immigrant community that may have distinct views on international law and Middle East policy.
Date: 2025-01-09 Added: 28 Apr 2026 ↗ RECORDS: Roll call: H.R. 23
✓ verified Primary Source Voted yea on H.R. 8035 (Ukraine Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024 ($61 billion Ukraine military aid)) on 2024-04-20: Keating, a senior Foreign Affairs Committee member, voted for $61 billion in Ukraine military aid and personally visited Kyiv days later to deliver the vote tally to Zelensky. His career top-5 PAC donor RTX Corp ($74,600) benefits from defense spending on Ukraine. His district includes Cape Cod towns where some constituents prioritize domestic spending over foreign military aid, creating a cross-pressure between his long-held Ukraine advocacy, defense industry donors, and constituent war fatigue.
Date: 2024-04-20 Added: 28 Apr 2026 ↗ RECORDS: Roll call: H.R. 8035
✓ verified Primary Source Voted yea on H.R. 3746 (Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 (debt ceiling suspension / spending cuts)) on 2023-05-31: Keating voted to suspend the debt ceiling, joining 165 Democrats while 46 opposed. His district has a median age of 46.8 with 17% of residents over 70 — a population heavily dependent on Social Security and Medicare that would have been devastated by default. He crossed progressive MA colleagues Pressley and McGovern, who voted no to protest SNAP cuts and the end of the student loan pause, prioritizing the avoidance of catastrophic default over protecting specific social programs.
Date: 2023-05-31 Added: 28 Apr 2026 ↗ RECORDS: Roll call: H.R. 3746 (118th Congress)
✓ verified Primary Source [vote] On May 31, 2023, Keating voted for the Fiscal Responsibility Act (H.R. 3746) to suspend the debt ceiling, which included cuts to SNAP benefits, the end of the federal student loan pause, and work requirements for older Americans receiving food assistance.
✓ verified Primary Source [statement] In 2023, Keating said Social Security was 'under attack' and told constituents at a legislative breakfast that 'behind the debt-ceiling issue is an effort to get what they call entitlements,' positioning himself as a defender of senior benefits.
✓ verified Primary Source [statement] Keating's spokesperson stated that the congressman 'relies on his financial adviser to make independent decisions' and does not personally direct his stock trades.
✓ verified Primary Source [disclosure] As a member of the House Armed Services Committee, Keating oversees defense contractors including Boeing. On February 28, 2024, he sold Boeing stock valued at up to $65,000 in total across multiple transactions, the day before the Department of Justice announced a criminal investigation into Boeing on February 29, 2024.
✓ verified Primary Source Keating serves on the House Foreign Affairs Committee (Ranking Member, Subcommittee on Europe) and the House Armed Services Committee.
✓ verified Primary Source In October-November 2024, Keating purchased shares in Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL), Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN), Microsoft Corp. (MSFT), and QUALCOMM Inc. (QCOM), totaling up to $48,000 in disclosed trades, per STOCK Act filings.
✓ verified Primary Source On February 28, 2024, Keating sold Boeing shares valued between $1,001 and $15,000. The Department of Justice announced a criminal investigation into Boeing on February 29, 2024 — the next day. Keating is a member of the House Armed Services Committee, which oversees defense contractors including Boeing. His spokesperson stated he 'relies on his financial adviser to make independent decisions.'
✓ verified Partially Corroborated Quiver Quantitative estimates Keating's net worth at $14.7M-$15.3M in 2025, ranking 62nd-63rd highest in Congress, with approximately $11.9M invested in publicly traded assets.
✓ verified Partially Corroborated In the 2023-2024 cycle, Keches Law Group was Keating's top contributor at $13,025, all from individuals.
✓ verified Partially Corroborated Keating's top career PAC contributors include Teamsters Union ($80,250), Sheet Metal, Air, Rail & Transportation Union ($80,000), RTX Corp ($74,600), and Laborers Union ($70,000). Commonwealth of Massachusetts employees gave $82,529, his single largest source.
✓ verified Partially Corroborated Over the 2009-2024 cycle, Keating raised $8,274,926 with Lawyers/Law Firms as the top contributing industry ($726,635), followed by Building Trade Unions ($446,000), Real Estate ($381,912), and Public Sector Unions ($379,713).
