They almost never miss a vote, participating in 98% of roll calls. They frequently work across the aisle, with 50% of their co-sponsored bills involving members of the other party.

They have filed 35 stock transaction disclosures since 2007. These are required by the STOCK Act, which mandates members of Congress report securities trades. Outside groups (like Super PACs) have spent money on their races: $4K spent supporting them. This spending is independent of their campaign.

Overall, they have a typical financial footprint for a representative. The biggest factors are lobbying activity around their committee topics and stock trading disclosures.
