3 former staff members from their office now work as lobbyists. Outside groups (like Super PACs) have spent money on their races: $143K spent supporting them. This spending is independent of their campaign.

Overall, they have a typical financial footprint for a senator. The biggest factors are lobbying activity around their committee topics and outside spending on their races.
