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.

The district includes portions of Essex and Middlesex counties, covering 35 cities and towns. The economy centers on healthcare, education, manufacturing, and logistics. Median household income is approximately $96,000, with Lowell and Lawrence having lower incomes and higher poverty rates than the suburban towns. The district voted 62% for Biden in 2020, making it a solidly Democratic seat.
Added: 02 May 2026
✓ verified Primary Source Voted yea on H.R. 5376 (Inflation Reduction Act of 2022) on 2022-08-12: Trahan voted for the Inflation Reduction Act which extended ACA subsidies and allowed Medicare drug price negotiation, aligned with her stated healthcare positions and constituents' interests. However, the pharmaceutical industry is among the sectors lobbying on issues within her Energy and Commerce jurisdiction — the vote shows constituent alignment but doesn't resolve the donor-constituent tension on pricing regulation.

✓ verified Primary Source [disclosure] Trahan's financial disclosures filed with the House classified her husband's company assets as 'SP' (spouse/separate property) rather than 'JT' (joint marital property), contradicting her claim that the loan funds were joint marital assets eligible for use in her campaign.
✓ verified Primary Source [statement] Trahan publicly stated that using her husband's money for her campaign was a 'gray area' in federal campaign finance law, acknowledging 'several errors' in how the funds were handled.
✓ verified Partially Corroborated Trahan accepted $4,500 from corporate lobbying firm PACs despite publicly claiming she did not accept corporate PAC money, a position contradicted by her campaign finance disclosures.
✓ verified Partially Corroborated Trahan violated the STOCK Act by holding a $100,001 to $250,000 stake in World View Enterprises through one of her blind trusts. World View Enterprises provides 'persistent observation and data collection' using high-altitude balloon technology for government and commercial customers, and spent $80,000 on federal lobbying during 2020 — creating a potential conflict with her Energy and Commerce committee oversight of technology and data policy.
✓ verified Primary Source Lori Trahan accepted $300,000 in campaign loans from her husband David Trahan's companies (DCT Development, Mass Eagle Development LLC, Middlesex Land Holdings LLC, Poplar Hill Development LLC) during her tight 2018 Democratic primary, which she won by 155 votes. The Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) released a report in December 2019 concluding there was 'substantial reason' to believe she broke campaign finance laws, but Trahan did not cooperate with the OCE investigation.
