They almost never miss a vote, participating in 100% of roll calls. They frequently work across the aisle, with 47% of their co-sponsored bills involving members of the other party.

5 former staff members from their office now work as lobbyists. Combined, they represent $5.5 million in lobbying activity. Outside groups (like Super PACs) have spent money on their races: $1.8 million spent supporting them and $15.5 million spent opposing them. This spending is independent of their campaign.

Overall, they have a higher-than-average financial footprint compared to other Senators. The biggest factors are outside spending on their races and campaign contributions.
