This analysis shows how Eric Sorensen voted on 40 bills. We looked at donations from different industries. There is a pattern between donations and votes for the Defense sector. Sorensen received $15,000 from this sector. He voted on 18 bills related to Defense. He voted "yea" on 44.4% of these bills. There is also a pattern for the Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate sector. Sorensen received $0 from this sector. He voted on 15 bills related to this sector. He voted "yea" on 33.3% of these bills. We do not have enough data to compare Sorensen's voting patterns to other legislators.

Fewer than 5 other members of the IL 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.
