PATTERN

Vote-finance correlation

High confidence

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

Dan Newhouse received $1,103,870.89 in donations. He voted on 91 bills. There is a weak negative pattern between donation amounts and yea rates. This means larger donations did not consistently align with higher yea rates. Newhouse had the highest yea rate (95.0%) on bills related to Energy/Natural Resources. He had the lowest yea rate (57.1%) on bills related to Defense.

Fewer than 5 other members of the WA 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.
