TRACKING

Vote-finance correlation

Data through Sep 2026 · Sources: 2 — FEC individual filings (2026 cycle), Congress.gov roll calls (119th Congress) [91]

Across 91 votes, Donald Beyer voted yea 55.6% of the time on bills related to their donor industries (10 sectors with sufficient data). The correlation between donation amounts and voting alignment is weak positive (0.250).

Fewer than 5 other members of the VA House delegation have comparable data right now, so no peer comparison is shown.

This analysis shows factual patterns in public data. Campaign contributions are legal and do not indicate wrongdoing. Voting alignment with donor industries is common across all legislators. Correlation does not indicate causation or improper behavior.

A pattern is a reason to look closer, not evidence of wrongdoing.
