McConnell, Mitch

McConnell, Mitch is a Republican Senator representing Kentucky. They serve on 5 committees, including Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry, Senate Committee on Appropriations and Senate Committee on Rules and Administration.

They have raised $86K in campaign contributions, with most of it from individual donors. The biggest industry source is finance/insurance/real estate, contributing $13K. Organizations spend $706.6 million lobbying on topics their committees oversee. The biggest areas are budget/appropriations and agriculture. This reflects the lobbying ecosystem around their committee work, not money paid to them directly.

They rarely miss a vote, participating in 94% of roll calls. They frequently work across the aisle, with 47% of their co-sponsored bills involving members of the other party.

16 former staff members from their office now work as lobbyists. Combined, they represent $8.9 million in lobbying activity. Outside groups (like Super PACs) have spent money on their races: $7K spent opposing them. This spending is independent of their campaign.

Overall, they have a typical financial footprint for a senator. The biggest factors are former staff becoming lobbyists and campaign contributions.
