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 Primary Source Voted nay on H.R. 734 (Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2023 (barring transgender student-athletes from women's sports)) on 2023-04-20: Moulton voted against GOP legislation to bar transgender student-athletes from girls' sports, aligning with his progressive district's values. However, 18 months later he made controversial statements opposing transgender girls in girls' sports, saying Democrats were 'out of touch' on the issue. This vote-vs-statement evolution became a major flashpoint in both his House district and subsequent 2026 Senate primary.
Date: 2023-04-20 Added: 03 May 2026 ↗ RECORDS: Roll call: H.R. 734
✓ verified Primary Source Voted yea on H.R. 8035 (Ukraine Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024) on 2024-04-20: Moulton voted for $60.8 billion in Ukraine aid, citing his Marine Corps experience and national security concerns. The vote aligned with his national defense expertise but placed him in opposition to isolationist voices within both parties. All 201 voting Democrats supported the measure, making this a party-aligned vote, but Moulton was notably outspoken in defending the aid package, publicly criticizing isolationist Republicans as supporting Putin.
Date: 2024-04-20 Added: 03 May 2026 ↗ SOURCE: Roll call: H.R. 8035
✓ verified Primary Source Voted yea on H.Res. 488 (Resolution condemning antisemitic attack in Boulder, Colorado; authorizing state and local law enforcement to detain immigrants suspected of crimes of moral turpitude) on 2025-06-11: Moulton joined 75 Democrats voting with Republicans on a resolution that included language thanking ICE for 'protecting the homeland.' His progressive district and donor base oppose Trump-era ICE policies, and Moulton subsequently called for abolishing ICE. The resolution's primary purpose was to condemn antisemitic terror, but the ICE language provoked criticism that Moulton voted for a GOP 'anti-immigrant' agenda.
Date: 2025-06-11 Added: 03 May 2026 ↗ RECORDS: Roll call: H.Res. 488
✓ verified Primary Source Voted nay on H.R. 7217 (Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024 (standalone Israel aid without Gaza humanitarian funding)) on 2024-02-06: Moulton voted against a standalone $17.6 billion Israel military aid package that omitted humanitarian assistance for Gaza, directly opposing AIPAC, his top campaign donor ($42,850 in 2023-2024). Moulton stated the bill 'fails to provide a single penny of humanitarian aid' making it 'inhumane to Palestinians.' The vote placed him among 149 Democrats opposing AIPAC-backed legislation against just 46 Democrats supporting it.
Date: 2024-02-06 Added: 03 May 2026 ↗ SOURCE: Roll call: H.R. 7217
✓ verified Primary Source [statement] In November 2024 after the election, Moulton told The New York Times, 'I have two little girls. I don't want them getting run over on the playing field by a male or formerly male athlete,' and said Democrats are 'out of touch' with voters on transgender issues, calling the party's handling of the issue a factor in Harris's loss.
✓ verified Primary Source [platform] Moulton co-sponsored the Transgender Bill of Rights in the 117th and 118th Congresses, which included protections for transgender athletes to participate on sports teams matching their gender identity, and was endorsed by the Human Rights Campaign in his 2024 reelection.
✓ verified Primary Source [disclosure] Analysis of FEC filings by the Washington Free Beacon in February 2026 found Moulton has held onto more than $40,000 in AIPAC cash given to his campaign in 2024, refunding only around half. He returned $5,000 from AIPAC's PAC and $37,800 from 18 individuals in November 2025, but kept two $5,000 contributions from August and October 2024 along with $31,300 in earmarked individual 2024 donations.
✓ verified Primary Source [statement] Rep. Seth Moulton pledged to return 'any AIPAC donations to my campaign' and refuse all future AIPAC support in October 2025, writing in his announcement, 'I am returning AIPAC's donations and refusing to accept any donations or support from them.'
✓ verified Primary Source In 2020, Moulton accepted a four-day, all-expenses-paid trip to Qatar for travel, lodging, and food, visiting the Qatar Foundation. He has received $11,500 from lobby firm Nelson Mullins since 2014, which lobbies for Qatar's foreign policy positions.
✓ verified Partially Corroborated In Q3 2025 alone, Moulton received $15,560 in AIPAC donations, per FEC filing. The Washington Free Beacon reported in February 2026 that Moulton had returned only about half of his AIPAC donations, keeping over $40,000 received in 2024.
✓ verified Primary Source On October 16, 2025, Moulton announced he was returning all AIPAC donations and refusing future support, citing AIPAC's 'steadfast support for the Netanyahu government.' An FEC filing showed $15,560 in AIPAC donations from Q3 2025 would be refunded.
