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: Maryland's 2nd Congressional District covers parts of Baltimore and Carroll counties plus a sliver of Baltimore City, anchored by communities such as Towson, Dundalk, Owings Mills, Pikesville, and Woodlawn. It has a population of approximately 783,000 and is rated D+10 (safe Democratic). The district has a strong federal workforce presence — the Social Security Administration and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services are both headquartered in Woodlawn — alongside major healthcare employers and a large Jewish community in the Pikesville/Owings Mills corridor. The median household income of $94,537 is well above the national median, and 46.2% of adults hold a bachelor's degree or higher. Poverty is relatively low at 5.3%. The district is racially diverse: 59.4% White, 23.7% Black, 6.1% Asian, and 6.0% Hispanic.
Added: 02 May 2026
✓ verified Primary Source Voted nay on H.R. 4371 (Kayla Hamilton Act (Unaccompanied Alien Children Placement Requirements)) on 2025-12-16: Olszewski voted against a bill named for a 20-year-old murder victim from Aberdeen, Maryland — in his home state — joining 201 Democrats in opposition. The bill passed 225-201 with only 7 Democratic defections. Maryland Democrats cited concerns the bill could harm children by requiring HHS to consider additional background information in placement determinations. The cross-pressure: honoring a Maryland victim's family versus progressive immigration and child-welfare policy.
Date: 2025-12-16 Added: 02 May 2026 ↗ SOURCE: Roll call: H.R. 4371
✓ verified Primary Source Voted nay on H.R. 5371 (Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2026 (Ended 42-Day Government Shutdown)) on 2025-11-12: Olszewski voted against ending the longest government shutdown in U.S. history despite his district's heavy reliance on federal employment — an estimated 150,000 Maryland federal workers went without paychecks and SNAP benefits were running out. He justified his 'difficult' no vote by objecting to the exclusion of ACA subsidy extensions and a provision allowing senators to write themselves $1 million checks for subpoenaed phone records. The cross-pressure: constituent economic pain versus principled opposition to what he called a 'false choice' that failed to protect working families from skyrocketing health premiums.
Date: 2025-11-12 Added: 02 May 2026 ↗ SOURCE: Roll call: H.R. 5371
✓ verified Pending Review [statement] In his second vote against the GOP budget reconciliation bill, Olszewski said: "Words fail to capture the devastation this bill will inflict on my constituents and every hard-working family in our country," citing 14,000 constituents losing Medicaid and 25,000 SNAP households facing cuts.
Date: 2025-07-03 Added: 02 May 2026
✓ verified Primary Source [disclosure] As Baltimore County Executive, Olszewski lobbied in support of an amendment to Maryland HB538 that benefited Himmelrich and Associates — a real estate developer and campaign contributor — a move that critics said removed meaningful local zoning and development authority from Baltimore County government.
✓ verified Pending Review [statement] "The American people elected all of us with one clear mandate: to lower costs," Olszewski declared in his first floor speech, pledging to focus on legislation that lowers costs for struggling families.
Date: 2025-02-04 Added: 02 May 2026
✓ verified Partially Corroborated JStreetPAC endorsed Olszewski and held a fundraising reception for him in April 2025, describing him as 'one of J Street's key freshman allies in Congress' who serves on the House Foreign Affairs Committee and represents a large Jewish constituency.
✓ verified Partially Corroborated As Baltimore County Executive (2018-2025), Olszewski oversaw zoning decisions, development approvals, and economic policy that directly affected many of the real estate and development interests now appearing on his congressional donor list.
✓ verified Partially Corroborated Olszewski serves on the House Foreign Affairs and Small Business committees and is a member of the Sustainable Energy and Environment Coalition (SEEC) and Chesapeake Watershed Taskforce.
✓ verified Partially Corroborated An analysis of recent contribution data by Maryland Bay News identified more than $433,000 in reported receipts with real estate and development interests making up a core donor base. Top contributors included Weinman Company ($15,000), Dennis Weinman ($14,000), Perry Jacobson ($9,000), Brown Advisory ($7,000), St. John Properties ($7,000), The Cordish Companies ($7,000), Saul Ewing LLP ($7,000), and Caves Valley Partners ($6,500).
✓ verified Primary Source In the 2025-2026 cycle (through March 31, 2026), Olszewski's campaign raised $816,884.42: $549,859.01 from individual contributions and $261,224.01 from PACs and other committees, per FEC filings.
✓ verified Partially Corroborated In the 2023-2024 election cycle, Olszewski's campaign raised $1,111,082: 80.80% from large individual contributions ($897,702), 15.46% from PACs ($171,794), and 4.16% from small donors ($46,165). He spent $879,886 and ended with $231,195 cash on hand.
