High confidence

Data through Jul 2026 · Sources: 2FEC individual filings (2026 cycle), Congress.gov roll calls (119th Congress) [166]

John Moolenaar voted on 166 bills. He received $1,473,800 in donations. There is a weak positive pattern between donation amounts and yea rates. This means larger donations from a sector did not strongly predict a higher yea rate for that sector. Moolenaar had the highest yea rate (100%) for Energy/Natural Resources bills. He voted on 22 bills in this sector. He received $80,600 from this sector. Moolenaar had the highest donation amount from the Other sector ($658,400). He voted on 14 bills in this sector. His yea rate for this sector was 85.7%.

Fewer than 5 other members of the MI 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.
