They have filed 49 stock transaction disclosures since 2007.

Combined, they represent $730K in lobbying activity. Outside groups (like Super PACs) have spent money on their races: $277 spent supporting them. This spending is independent of their campaign.

Overall, they have a typical financial footprint for a representative. The biggest factors are stock trading disclosures and former staff becoming lobbyists.
