Joe Courtney voted on 40 bills. He received $915,700 in donations. There is a moderate negative pattern between donation amounts and his yea rates. This means larger donations from a sector may correlate with lower yea rates for bills related to that sector.

Fewer than 5 other members of the CT 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.
