McGovern, James P.

McGovern, James P. is a Democratic Representative representing Massachusetts, District 2. They serve on 2 committees, including House Committee on Agriculture and House Committee on Rules.

They have raised $85K in campaign contributions, with most of it from individual donors. The biggest industry source is communications/electronics, contributing $20K. Organizations spend $167.0 million lobbying on topics their committees oversee. The biggest areas are agriculture and food industry/safety. This reflects the lobbying ecosystem around their committee work, not money paid to them directly.

They rarely miss a vote, participating in 93% of roll calls. They frequently work across the aisle, with 51% of their co-sponsored bills involving members of the other party.

They have filed 25 stock transaction disclosures since 2007. These are required by the STOCK Act, which mandates members of Congress report securities trades. 2 former staff members from their office now work as lobbyists. Combined, they represent $340K in lobbying activity. Outside groups (like Super PACs) have spent money on their races: $25 spent supporting them. This spending is independent of their campaign.

Overall, they have a lower-than-average financial footprint compared to other House members. The biggest factors are former staff becoming lobbyists and campaign contributions.
