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: Michigan's 9th Congressional District encompasses the Thumb region and northern portions of Metro Detroit, including parts of Macomb, Oakland, Lapeer, Sanilac, Huron, Tuscola, and St. Clair counties. With approximately 779,000 residents, it is the most Republican district in Michigan (Cook PVI R+18). The district has a median household income of $85,269, a homeownership rate of 84.6%, and a poverty rate of 8.81%. The population is 88.1% White (Non-Hispanic), with small Black (2.3%) and Hispanic (4.1%) communities. The economy is anchored by automotive manufacturing (General Motors, Stellantis plants), agriculture (sugar beets, dry beans, dairy), defense (Selfridge Air National Guard Base), and healthcare. The district's demographic profile — older, whiter, more rural, and more working-class than the national average — makes it safe Republican territory.
Added: 02 May 2026
✓ verified Primary Source Voted yea on S. 5 (Laken Riley Act — On Passage) on 2025-01-07: McClain co-authored an op-ed with Rep. Mike Collins promoting the bill and voted yea. The act requires mandatory ICE detention of undocumented immigrants charged with certain crimes. Her district is 88.1% White with only 4.07% foreign-born residents (31.7k people), meaning immigration enforcement has limited direct impact on constituents, but the vote aligned with her strong border-security messaging as Conference Chair and donor interests from Kratos Defense and security-sector contributors.
Date: 2025-01-07 Added: 02 May 2026 ↗ SOURCE: Roll call: S. 5
✓ verified Primary Source Voted yea on H.R. 1 (One Big Beautiful Bill Act — On Motion to Concur in the Senate Amendment) on 2025-07-03: As House Republican Conference Chairwoman, McClain was a chief promoter of the OBBB, touring the country to tout its benefits. The bill raised the SALT deduction cap from $10,000 to $40,000 — a provision that predominantly benefits high-income taxpayers in high-tax blue states, not her MI-09 constituents (median income $85,269, median home value $279,300). The vote illustrates institutional leadership loyalty prevailing over constituent-specific tax benefit calculations.
Date: 2025-07-03 Added: 02 May 2026 ↗ SOURCE: Roll call: H.R. 1
✓ verified Primary Source Voted nay on H.R. 7567 (Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 (Farm Bill) — On Passage) on 2026-04-30: McClain was one of only 3 Republicans to vote against the Farm Bill, which passed 224-200. The New York Times reported the bill exposed rifts between MAHA-aligned lawmakers and traditional agricultural interests. McClain also voted against the popular rotisserie chicken SNAP amendment. Her district includes significant agricultural areas in Michigan's Thumb region, creating a tension between party loyalty, constituent farming interests, and the MAHA-aligned opposition to the bill.
Date: 2026-04-30 Added: 02 May 2026 ↗ SOURCE: Roll call: H.R. 7567
✓ verified AI Inference Voted nay_unverified on H.R. 5860 (Continuing Appropriations Act, 2024 and Other Extensions Act — On Motion to Suspend the Rules and Pass) on 2023-09-30: As House GOP Conference Secretary, McClain was part of Speaker McCarthy's leadership team and expected to support the stopgap funding bill. She instead voted with 90 Republicans against the CR, a notable leadership defection. Politico called it 'the most surprising no vote' against McCarthy's bill. The vote positioned her favorably with the hardline Freedom Caucus and preceded her rise to Conference Chair.

✓ verified Primary Source [vote] On September 30, 2023, McClain voted Nay on H.R. 5860, the continuing resolution that kept the government open, joining 90 Republicans in opposing the stopgap funding bill. As House GOP Conference Secretary, she was a member of leadership expected to support the Speaker's priority legislation.
