EVER WISH YOU COULD FIND OUT *JUST* HOW MUCH YOUR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS HAVE BEEN BOUGHT? AND BY WHOM? WELL NOW YOU CAN!
Brought to you by TESS!
The Influenced Index was built to answer one question: when a member of Congress takes money, does it change how they vote?
Here’s how we calculate each member’s score: we look at ten things – who gives them money, how much, whether they vote the way their donors want, whether contributions show up right before key votes, and whether the money comes from groups trying to hide who’s behind it. We weigh the evidence of influence more heavily than the money itself. A member who takes modest donations but always votes with their funders will score higher than one who raises millions but votes independently.
Every score comes from public records – FEC (Federal Election Commission) filings, lobbying disclosures, and recorded votes.
Just as TESS is able to trace all of Epstein’s financial and other transactions, TESS has now built an engine tracing the campaign donations to every Congressional representative, from whom the money came, and how strongly the votes of each member of Congress align with the desires of their donors.
