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: Delaware's At-Large Congressional District encompasses the entire state — approximately 1.02 million residents across three counties (New Castle, Kent, and Sussex). It is the oldest congressional district in the nation, existing uninterrupted since 1789. The district is dominated by the Wilmington metropolitan area in the north, with a finance and legal-services economy anchored by Delaware's status as the incorporation home for over 60% of Fortune 500 companies. The central and southern regions are more agricultural and coastal-tourism based. The median household income is $84,954 (well above the national median of $37,585), the poverty rate is 7.2%, and the homeownership rate is 73%. The district is solidly Democratic (D+16) and has elected Democrats to Congress since 2010. Key federal installations include Dover Air Force Base. Major issues include healthcare access, coastal resilience, housing affordability in the north, and agricultural policy in the south.

✓ verified Primary Source Voted nay on H.R. 7744 (Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2026 (initial passage)) on 2026-03-05: McBride voted against the DHS funding bill that ended a partial DHS shutdown which began in February 2026. This bill funded border security, disaster relief (FEMA), and Coast Guard operations — all relevant to Delaware's coastal geography. Her consistent opposition to DHS funding under Secretary Noem placed constituent material needs (disaster preparedness, port security) in tension with her political opposition to the Trump administration's immigration enforcement.
Date: 2026-03-05 Added: 03 May 2026 ↗ RECORDS: Roll call: H.R. 7744
✓ verified AI Inference Voted nay_unverified on H.R. 3633 (Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY Act)) on 2025-07-17: McBride voted against the CLARITY Act, a bipartisan crypto market-structure bill that passed 294-134. She split her vote — voting for the GENIUS stablecoin bill but against CLARITY. Delaware is a global hub for corporate and financial-services incorporation (home to 60%+ of Fortune 500 legal domiciles); the financial-services and fintech sectors in her state had a clear interest in federal crypto regulatory clarity. Her split-the-baby approach frustrated industry advocates.
Date: 2025-07-17 Added: 03 May 2026
✓ verified Primary Source Voted nay on H.R. 7147 (Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2026) on 2026-01-23: McBride voted against funding DHS, which includes FEMA disaster-relief programs critical for coastal Delaware (hurricanes, nor'easters, sea-level rise). Her office stated she 'consistently voted against DHS funding' and reaffirmed her commitment after joining calls to impeach Secretary Noem. Constituent material interest in disaster preparedness conflicted with her anti-Trump immigration-enforcement stance.

✓ verified AI Inference Voted nay_unverified on H.R. 28 (Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act) on 2025-01-14: As the first openly transgender member of Congress, McBride voted against legislation barring transgender women and girls from federally funded women's sports. The bill passed narrowly (218-206) with only two Democrats supporting it. McBride publicly called the GOP focus on this issue 'mystifying.' Her vote aligned with her identity, her district's progressive values (D+16), and her LGBTQ+ advocacy record — while defying the national political headwinds on trans issues.
Date: 2025-01-14 Added: 03 May 2026
✓ verified AI Inference Voted nay_unverified on H.R. 29 (Laken Riley Act) on 2025-01-07: McBride voted against a bill requiring mandatory detention of undocumented immigrants charged with theft-related crimes, which passed with broad bipartisan support (264-159). Delaware Senate Republicans formally condemned her vote. Her district is 10.6% foreign-born with active immigrant communities. Constituent pressure from progressive and immigrant-rights groups pulled against national bipartisan momentum for tougher immigration enforcement.
Date: 2025-01-07 Added: 03 May 2026
✓ verified Primary Source [statement] McBride blamed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, saying his government has responsibility for 'facilitating the conditions' for famine through an aid blockade. She stated: 'The responsibility for the famine that we are seeing right now, that responsibility rests on the Netanyahu government for allowing the conditions, for facilitating the conditions with the aid blockade that have resulted in the death that we're seeing right now.' She warned that the situation could make the U.S.-Israel relationship 'irretrievable' and called for a full ceasefire.
✓ verified Primary Source [statement] McBride 'framed herself as a staunch supporter of Israel and the U.S.-Israel relationship' and 'emphasized that federal law already contains protections to ensure that U.S. aid shouldn't be used in ways that contradict our values.' She voiced 'serious concerns about any policy that would single out Israel and treat it differently than other countries that we support through foreign aid' and opposed conditioning aid to Israel. She called the U.S.-Israel relationship 'a bedrock of America's national security' and said she would 'certainly work in Congress to continue to protect' it.
