They almost never miss a vote, participating in 98% 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 $3.0 million in lobbying activity. Outside groups (like Super PACs) have spent money on their races: $33K 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 former staff becoming lobbyists.
