TRACKING

Vote-finance correlation

Moderate confidence

Data through Jul 2026 · Sources: 2FEC individual filings (2026 cycle), Congress.gov roll calls (119th Congress) [68]

Jake Ellzey voted on 68 bills. He received $5,799,306.15 in donations. There is a moderate negative pattern between donation amounts and yea rates. This means larger donations did not consistently align with higher yea rates on bills. Sectors with 10 or more bills voted on showed varied donation amounts. Finance/Insurance/Real Estate and Energy/Natural Resources had 100% yea rates. Defense had a 70% yea rate. Construction had a 100% yea rate with no donations.

Fewer than 5 other members of the TX 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.
