This report shows how Clay Higgins voted on 91 bills. It also shows $2,271,500 in donations analyzed. The largest donation sector was "Other" at $1,739,500. Higgins voted yea on 60.0% of bills related to this sector. The "Energy/Natural Resources" sector donated $55,500. Higgins voted yea on 73.7% of bills for this sector. There is a negligible pattern between donation amounts and voting yea. This means donation amounts did not strongly relate to how Higgins voted.

Fewer than 5 other members of the LA 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.
