Committee Influence Scores

Ranks congressional committees by a composite influence score that weighs tracked donations flowing to committee members, breadth of the donor base, and the number of industries targeting the committee. Scores are relative ranks — not dollar figures — because our donation data covers only QPQ-tracked contributions, not full FEC cycle totals. See individual entity profiles for methodology disclosures and source citations.
