Methodology: Bill-Lobbying-Trade Connection

CapitolExposed identifies the "bill-lobbying-trade pipeline" by: (1) finding lobbying filings (LD-2) that specifically mention this bill, (2) matching lobbying clients to publicly traded companies, and (3) finding stock trades by members of Congress in those companies within 90 days of the bill's introduction date. Trades made before the bill was introduced are highlighted in red, as they may indicate advance knowledge. This analysis surfaces correlations worthy of scrutiny; it does not prove wrongdoing.
