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.

Confidence Tiers: Primary Source — cross-referenced government/corporate filings Pending Review — sourced but not independently verified AI Inference — analytical hypothesis from cross-referencing
✓ Verified Findings (62)
Independently re-checked: a second model read the source artifact and confirmed it supports the extracted claim.
✓ verified Pending Review The due‑process argument against the Plaskett censure was articulated by Rep. Jamie Raskin (D‑MD), who told the Washington Post: 'This resolution starts by saying we censure her, we remove her from committee, and the very next component of it says we direct the Committee on Ethics to conduct an investigation. That is the opposite of due process.' The Congressional Black Caucus also cited 'due process' in opposing the resolution. Lynch did not issue his own public statement on the vote.
Date: 2025-11-18 Added: 04 May 2026
✓ verified Pending Review Lynch voted to advance contempt proceedings against former President Bill Clinton on January 21, 2026, for failing to appear before the House Oversight Committee in the Epstein probe. He told the Boston Globe he supported the measure because Clinton had 'significant contact with Ghislaine Maxwell' and 'some contact with Mr. Epstein' and might have 'information that is helpful to the investigation.' He voted against a similar contempt resolution against Hillary Clinton, stating there was 'no indication she has knowledge about Epstein.'
Date: 2026-01-21 Added: 04 May 2026
✓ verified Pending Review Lynch, as Acting Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee, co‑led a June 5, 2025 letter with Rep. Robert Garcia (Ranking Member of the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets) demanding that AG Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel 'immediately clarify' whether Epstein files were being withheld because they implicate President Trump. The letter called for a timeline of declassification, explanation for the lack of new documents since February 2025, and description of Trump's role in reviewing the files.
Date: 2025-06-05 Added: 04 May 2026
✓ verified Pending Review Lynch voted Nay on Roll Call 297 (H.Res. 888, censuring Delegate Stacey Plaskett and removing her from the House Intelligence Committee) on November 18, 2025. The House Clerk's official record confirms 'Lynch | Democratic | MA | Nay' at line 312. The resolution failed 209‑214‑3. All 211 voting Democrats opposed the measure, along with three Republicans (Bacon, Gooden, Joyce); three Republicans voted Present. The prior 'nay_unverified' designation is superseded by primary evidence.
Date: 2025-11-18 Added: 04 May 2026
✓ verified Pending Review Lynch serves (or served) as Chair of the National Security Subcommittee of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, a role that gave him direct oversight authority over national security agencies. His opposition to an NDAA as the subcommittee chair responsible for national security oversight represents an especially prominent institutional break with the defense authorization process.
Date: 2021-02-03 Added: 04 May 2026
✓ verified Pending Review Lynch issued no press release or public statement on his 2023 or 2024 NDAA Nay votes, consistent with his pattern of casting progressive votes while declining public visibility. Rep. Jim McGovern, in contrast, publicly condemned the 'extremist culture war agenda' in the NDAA—making Lynch's silence a notable asymmetry within the Massachusetts delegation, which voted unanimously Nay.
Date: 2024-06-14 Added: 04 May 2026
✓ verified Pending Review Lynch served as a House conferee for the FY2021 NDAA (named by Speaker Pelosi, November 2020) and introduced multiple amendments to NDAA bills over his career, including the K2 Veterans Toxic Exposure Accountability Act (2020) and an amendment to prohibit closure of Coast Guard Station Scituate (FY2022). His transition to Nay voter in 2023–2024 represents the abandonment of an actively legislative engagement with the NDAA process.
Date: 2020-11-23 Added: 04 May 2026
✓ verified Pending Review Lynch's NDAA voting record: Aye on FY2022 (H.R. 6395, 2020), Aye on FY2023 (H.R. 7900, 2022), Nay on FY2024 (H.R. 2670, 2023, 219–210 with 206 Democrats Nay), and Nay on FY2025 (H.R. 8070, 2024). His shift from supporter to opponent began in 2023, not 2024, though the 2023 vote was party-line and the 2024 vote came with explicit 'culture war' rationale.
Date: 2024-06-14 Added: 04 May 2026
✓ verified Pending Review The original claim contains a significant date-and-bill conflation: H.R. 8070 passed the House on June 14, 2024, not December 11, 2024. The December 11, 2024 vote was on the bicameral conference report—a separate legislative text that retained only the TRICARE gender dysphoria restriction after Senate negotiations stripped the broader culture-war provisions. Lynch voted Nay on both.
Date: 2024-12-11 Added: 04 May 2026
✓ verified Pending Review Stephen F. Lynch voted Nay on H.R. 8070, the Servicemember Quality of Life Improvement and National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2025, Roll Call 279, June 14, 2024—the House-passed version loaded with GOP culture-war amendments eliminating DEI programs, restricting abortion access for service members, and banning gender-affirming care. The bill passed 217–199 with 6 Democrats voting Aye, 196 Democrats voting Nay.
Date: 2024-06-14 Added: 04 May 2026
✓ verified Pending Review Subramanyam campaigned on a platform of 'campaign finance reform' and pledged to 'prevent members of Congress from trading individual stocks,' yet holds at least $630,000 to over $1 million in individual tech stocks (Amazon, Meta, NVIDIA) — the same companies whose data centers he publicly criticizes. He has not publicly addressed the contradiction between his policy rhetoric and personal financial interests.
Date: 2024-11-25 Added: 04 May 2026
✓ verified Pending Review Subramanyam's financial disclosures show he holds at least $130,000 in Amazon stock, at least $130,000 in Meta stock, and at least $5,000 in NVIDIA stock. Amazon maintains 93 data centers throughout Northern Virginia (Subramanyam's district), Meta's Sandston data center occupies 450,000 square feet and cost $1 billion, and NVIDIA's DGX Ready Data Center program certifies data centers in the region.
Date: 2025-04-18 Added: 04 May 2026
✓ verified Pending Review Subramanyam's net worth estimate trajectory: $2.7M (July 16, 2025, 201st) → $2.8M (October 27, 2025, 227th) → $2.8M (February 11, 2026) → $2.8M (May 1, 2026, 226th). The tracked public asset figure grew from approximately $948,000 to $1.1 million over the same period. The ranking changes (201st → 227th → 226th) reflect market fluctuations in other members' portfolios, not changes in Subramanyam's own reported wealth.
Date: 2025-07-16 to 2026-05-01 Added: 04 May 2026
✓ verified Pending Review Quiver Quantitative estimates that Representative Suhas Subramanyam is worth $2.8 million as of May 1, 2026 — the 226th highest net worth in Congress. Subramanyam has approximately $1.1 million invested in publicly traded assets which Quiver is able to track live. The identical $2.8 million estimate appears across four Quiver press‑release footers from October 2025 through May 2026.
Date: 2026-05-01 Added: 04 May 2026
✓ verified Pending Review Lynch's district (MA‑08) has a poverty rate of 5.8%, well below the national average of 12.4%. However, Massachusetts has a 15.2% SNAP participation rate with over 1 million residents receiving benefits, including 140,000 Boston residents (1 in 5). Lynch's district includes working‑class communities like South Boston, Quincy, and Brockton where SNAP reliance is likely higher than the district‑wide poverty rate suggests.
Date: 2026-04-30 Added: 04 May 2026
✓ verified Pending Review Lynch issued no press release or public statement on the Farm Bill vote—consistent with his pattern of voting progressively while declining public visibility. He similarly issued no statement on H.R. 28 (transgender sports ban), leaving public opposition to Reps. Bonamici and Pressley.
Date: 2026-04-30 Added: 04 May 2026
✓ verified Pending Review Lynch was the only Massachusetts Democrat who 'did not cast a vote' on the 2014 Farm Bill (H.R. 2642, which passed 251‑166), while every other MA House Democrat voted Nay. His active 2026 Nay represents a 12‑year shift from abstention to opposition, likely driven by the $187 billion in SNAP cuts absent from the 2014 bill.
Date: 2014-01-30 Added: 04 May 2026
✓ verified Pending Review The 2026 Farm Bill retained and codified a $187 billion cut to SNAP (food stamps) that was originally enacted through H.R. 1 (the One Big Beautiful Bill Act) in July 2025, along with a $60 billion boost to farm subsidies. The Boston Globe reported the bill 'preserved deep cuts to food stamps' and that 'Democrats opposed the bill in large part because it preserved deep cuts.'
Date: 2026-04-30 Added: 04 May 2026
✓ verified Pending Review Stephen Lynch voted Nay on H.R. 7567, the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026, on April 30, 2026—the bill passed 224‑200 with 209 Republicans and 14 Democrats voting Yea. All Massachusetts Democrats voted Nay.
Date: 2026-04-30 Added: 04 May 2026
✓ verified Pending Review The 2020 HRC endorsement of Lynch stated: 'HRC was instrumental in helping us to secure support for the Equality Act in the House,' with Lynch cited as 'educating and carrying the torch for equality.'
Date: 2020-07-09 Added: 04 May 2026
✓ verified Pending Review Lynch's LGBTQ+ advocacy represents a 25-year political evolution: as a Massachusetts state legislator, he opposed hate crimes legislation and partner benefits. By 2010, the Freedom to Marry organization profiled him as a 'Voice for Equality,' and by 2020, the Human Rights Campaign endorsed him as a 'champion of equality.' Queerty characterized his transformation as going from 'supposed to be another D.C. homophobe' to someone who 'let gay marriage arrive.'
Date: 2010-03-10 Added: 04 May 2026
✓ verified Pending Review Lynch is a member of the Congressional LGBTQ+ Equality Caucus and has been an original cosponsor of the Equality Act since its introduction in 2015. His official House website (lynch.house.gov/civil-rights) explicitly states he is 'strongly opposed to efforts to ban or otherwise exclude transgender Americans from enlisting for military service and believes that no patriotic American should be prohibited from serving their country.'
Date: 2025-01-14 Added: 04 May 2026
✓ verified Pending Review Lynch issued no press release or public statement on his H.R. 28 vote, as confirmed by a comprehensive search of lynch.house.gov and major news archives. This silence contrasts with Rep. Suzanne Bonamici (D-OR), who led the Democratic floor opposition, branded the bill the 'Child Predator Empowerment Act,' and became the public face of opposition to the legislation.
Date: 2025-01-14 Added: 04 May 2026
✓ verified Pending Review The entire nine-member Massachusetts House Democratic delegation—Auchincloss, Clark, Keating, Lynch, McGovern, Moulton, Neal, Pressley, and Trahan—voted in unanimous lockstep Nay on H.R. 28, making Lynch's vote indistinguishable from the Massachusetts delegation consensus.
Date: 2025-01-14 Added: 04 May 2026
✓ verified Pending Review Stephen F. Lynch voted Nay on H.R. 28, the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, Roll Call 12, January 14, 2025—the bill passed 218–206–1 with 216 Republicans and 2 Democrats (Cuellar and Gonzalez, both of Texas) voting Yea, 206 Democrats voting Nay, and 1 Democrat (Golden of Maine) voting Present.

✓ verified Pending Review [constituency_baseline] District summary: Massachusetts's 8th Congressional District encompasses the southern quarter of Boston (including South Boston, where Lynch was born and still lives), the city of Quincy, Brockton, and 21 suburban towns stretching through Norfolk, Bristol, and Plymouth Counties. It is home to approximately 781,306 residents with a median household income of $118,565 — more than triple the national median of $37,585. The district is majority White (65-66%), with significant Asian (9.8%) and Black (9.6%) populations. 20.1% of residents are foreign-born, and 91.9% are U.S. citizens. The district is highly educated (53% bachelor's degree or higher) with a 5.8% poverty rate. Homeownership is 60.9% with a median property value of $638,900 and median rent of $2,161. Key industries include Health Care & Social Assistance, Professional/Scientific/Technical Services, and Finance & Insurance. The district is among the most Democratic in the nation (D+41 per Legisletter; Harris won it 61.2%-36%). Lynch has held this seat since 2001, making him one of the longest-serving members of the Massachusetts delegation. He is a former ironworker and union president who became an attorney and served in both chambers of the Massachusetts General Court before Congress. He faces a significant 2026 primary challenge from Patrick Roath, a 39-year-old attorney endorsed by former Governor Deval Patrick, who argues Lynch has failed to sufficiently resist the Trump administration.
Added: 03 May 2026
✓ verified Primary Source Voted nay on H.R. 7147 (Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2026 (Senate amendment disposition)) on 2026-03-27: Lynch voted against the final DHS appropriations bill funding ICE and CBP after previously voting for the Laken Riley Act — creating a tension between his support for mandatory detention policy and his opposition to funding the enforcement agencies. This apparent contradiction reflects the complex immigration politics in his D+41 district, where he has attempted to balance progressive immigration values with a more conservative posture on border enforcement and crime.
Date: 2026-03-27 Added: 03 May 2026 ↗ SOURCE: Roll call: H.R. 7147
✓ verified Primary Source Voted nay on S. 1071 (National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026 (rule for consideration)) on 2025-12-10: Lynch voted 'No' on the rule providing for consideration of the FY2026 NDAA. The CWA scored this as a key vote because the House version of the NDAA included Section 1110 restoring collective bargaining rights for civilian DOD employees — a priority for Lynch, a former union president. The AFL-CIO supported the final bill. Lynch's 'No' vote on the rule suggests procedural or other content concerns beyond the collective bargaining provision.
Date: 2025-12-10 Added: 03 May 2026 ↗ SOURCE: Roll call: S. 1071
✓ verified Primary Source Voted nay on H.R. 3633 / S. 1582 (CLARITY Act and GENIUS Act (major crypto regulatory bills of the 119th Congress)) on 2025-07-17: As Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Digital Assets, Lynch co-led 'Anti-Crypto Corruption Week' and voted against both bills, calling them vehicles for 'Trump's crypto corruption.' Stand With Crypto rates Lynch 'Strongly against crypto' — he has voted against every pro-crypto bill since FIT21. His hostility to crypto is motivated by consumer-protection concerns and opposition to Trump family crypto ventures, but places him at odds with a growing bipartisan bloc. The bills passed with significant Democratic support (294-134 for CLARITY).
Date: 2025-07-17 Added: 03 May 2026 ↗ SOURCE: Roll call: H.R. 3633 / S. 1582
✓ verified Primary Source Voted yea on H.R. 29 (Laken Riley Act (mandatory ICE detention for undocumented immigrants accused of theft-related crimes)) on 2025-01-22: Lynch was the sole Massachusetts Democrat and one of only 46 House Democrats to vote for this hallmark Trump immigration bill. His district is 20.1% foreign-born with large immigrant communities, and he represents a D+41 progressive constituency. The vote placed him dramatically to the right of the rest of the Massachusetts delegation. His primary challenger Patrick Roath has made this vote a centerpiece of his campaign, arguing Lynch 'cannot be trusted' to stand up to Trump.
✓ verified Primary Source [disclosure] As a Democrat representing one of the most progressive districts in America (D+41), Lynch's characterization of migrants as 'unlawfully' present broke with the party's messaging discipline and was immediately criticized by the Boston Globe. The Globe noted many migrants 'actually entered the US legally' through Biden-era humanitarian programs.
✓ verified Primary Source [statement] Lynch said at a March 2025 Oversight hearing that Massachusetts is spending '$1.5 billion on providing services and housing and everything to people who are in our state unlawfully' — using the term 'unlawfully' to describe migrants, many of whom entered under Biden-era humanitarian parole programs.
✓ verified Primary Source [vote] Lynch voted to TABLE Rep. Al Green's third impeachment articles against Trump on June 25, 2025, arguing that with Republicans controlling the House, impeachment 'would be a colossal failure, a wasted opportunity and a gift to President Trump and his henchmen.' He was one of the more senior Democrats to vote against moving forward with impeachment.
✓ verified Primary Source [statement] Lynch voted for both prior impeachments of Donald Trump and stated: 'I have participated in both of the successful investigations and impeachments of President Trump. I also voted for impeachment in each case.'
✓ verified Primary Source [vote] Lynch was the only member of the Massachusetts House delegation to vote for the Laken Riley Act. Every other Massachusetts Democrat — including progressives Ayanna Pressley, Jim McGovern, and Seth Moulton — voted against it. Lynch's vote made him one of only 46 Democrats nationally to support the bill, which passed 263-156.
✓ verified Primary Source [statement] Lynch stated in January 2025 that 'Congress has lost control of the immigration process in this country' and was the sole Massachusetts Democrat to vote for the Laken Riley Act, which allows authorities to detain and deport immigrants not convicted of crimes. He said the bill 'begins to engage on those issues and attempts to bring greater certainty and clarity to that process.'
✓ verified Partially Corroborated Lynch opposed the Affordable Care Act in 2009 as one of only 39 House Democrats to vote against it — a vote his 2026 primary challenger has criticized on the campaign trail.
✓ verified Partially Corroborated Q2 2025: Lynch raised only $167,439 compared to primary challenger Patrick Roath's $287,691. Politico reported Lynch raised 'the least of any incumbent' at $60,617 in the subsequent quarter, though maintained over $1 million cash on hand.
✓ verified Primary Source 2018 Net worth: $807,018 to $2,230,999, ranking 144th in the House. Liabilities of $365,003 to $800,000. Lynch is a former ironworker and union president (Iron Workers Local 7) turned attorney.
✓ verified Partially Corroborated Lynch's campaign committee spent $976,110 against $709,923 raised in the 2024 cycle, maintaining $1,088,723 cash on hand with zero debts. He contributed $200,000 to the DCCC from his campaign committee.
