  • H.R. 1 ↗ YEA 2025-07-03
    One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) — House final passage, July 3, 2025
    why contradicted?
    [against_constituent] Flood voted yea on legislation the CBO projected would add $3.4 trillion to deficits and cut approximately $1 trillion from Medicaid and SNAP. His district has 6.1% poverty, 64.1% homeownership, and median household income of $79,326 — with thousands of residents dependent on Medicaid and SNAP. Flood faced the angriest town halls of his career over this vote: 750 attendees at Lincoln's Kimball Hall booed him, shouted 'Liar!' and 'Vote him out!,' and chanted 'Tax the rich!' When challenged, Flood admitted a key provision restricting judicial contempt powers 'was unknown to me when I voted for that bill' — an extraordinary admission from a sitting member that he had not read a bill with consequences for millions of Nebraskans. At subsequent town halls, he claimed the bill 'saved Medicaid,' a framing the Nebraska Examiner noted was met with 'boos reaching quite a crescendo.' Only 2 Republicans voted nay. His top donor sectors — Insurance ($232,900), Commercial Banks ($185,450), Securities & Investment ($178,893) — backed the bill's financial deregulatory provisions and permanent tax cuts.

Documented contradictions 1

Stated-position-vs-revealed-conduct contradictions analysed against the official's commitments, scored by strength of the contradiction.

  • platform_vs_vote SCORE 90
    Flood built his political brand on fiscal conservatism and 'not having unlimited money,' yet voted for the OBBBA which the CBO projected would add $3.4 trillion to the national debt — while simultaneously admitting he had not read key provisions of the legislation before casting his vote. The AFL-CIO, which gave him a 1% score for 2025, opposed the bill. The contradiction between his fiscal-conservative rhetoric and supporting a deficit-expanding bill is compounded by his admission of ignorance about the contempt-of-court provision.

What this scorecard does and doesn't claim

Every figure above is a count of records the platform already holds, each click-through-able to its source. The scorecard adds no inference, no forecast, and no narrative — it aggregates what is documented.

A populated scorecard is not a finding of corruption. It documents the volume of stated-vs-revealed tension, donor-adjacent silence, and broken commitments on the public record for this official. Silence in particular is the absence of an expected statement; it can have innocent explanations and is never presented as proof. Read each item's source before drawing conclusions.
