Carey, Mike

Carey, Mike is a Republican Representative representing Ohio, District 15. They serve on 4 committees, including Joint Committee of Congress on the Library, House Committee on Ways and Means and House Committee on the Budget.

They have raised $130K in campaign contributions, with most of it from individual donors. The biggest industry source is finance/insurance/real estate, contributing $5K. Organizations spend $1.7 billion lobbying on topics their committees oversee. The biggest areas are budget/appropriations and taxation. This reflects the lobbying ecosystem around their committee work, not money paid to them directly.

They almost never miss a vote, participating in 99% 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 45 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: $7K spent supporting them. This spending is independent of their campaign.

Overall, they have a higher-than-average financial footprint compared to other House members. The biggest factors are lobbying activity around their committee topics and stock trading disclosures.
