Schweikert, David

Schweikert, David is a Republican Representative representing Arizona, District 1. They serve on 2 committees, including Joint Economic Committee and House Committee on Ways and Means.

Organizations spend $1.0 billion lobbying on topics their committees oversee. The biggest areas are taxation and trade.

They almost never miss a vote, participating in 97% of roll calls. They frequently work across the aisle, with 50% of their co-sponsored bills involving members of the other party.

They have filed 31 stock transaction disclosures since 2007. These are required by the STOCK Act, which mandates members of Congress report securities trades. 4 former staff members from their office now work as lobbyists. Combined, they represent $4.7 million in lobbying activity. Outside groups (like Super PACs) have spent money on their races: $1.8 million spent supporting them and $24.7 million spent opposing them. This spending is independent of their campaign.

Overall, they have a higher-than-average financial footprint compared to other House members. The biggest factors are outside spending on their races and former staff becoming lobbyists.
