Political Activity

FEC records contain at least 100 federal contributions in the most recent sampled records on file, totaling $14,491.43; these figures cover only the sampled 100 records, not the full contribution history FEC. Of that sample, $13,491.43 was classified as Unknown party and $1,000 as Democratic FEC. The largest listed recipients in the sample were Liberty Mutual Insurance Company PAC and American Property Casualty Insurance Association PAC at $5,000 each, followed by Lori Trahan for Congress Committee at $1,000 FEC.

These donations are matched to this person by name only, so some may belong to a different person with the same name: FEC filings can include a donor's employer and city, but our matching does not check them against what we know about this person.

SCOREScore Breakdown

D
18
Giving score
uses a net worth as of 2025

The giving score is a weighted average of 2 components. The formula is open and versioned — the weight percentages below show how much each component contributes to the final score.

Philanthropy65% weight
1%

Evidenced charitable giving — built on what they actually give each year, not parked assets. Dominated by generosity (annual giving relative to net worth — the share of your fortune you give), plus the absolute scale of that giving, plus a small nudge for signing the Giving Pledge (a commitment, not a realized action).

Data: ProPublica 990 charitable disbursements, net worth, The Giving Pledge registry

Data coverage35% weight
50%

How much sourced public record we hold about this person — net worth, SEC filings, foundation 990s, news coverage, Wikidata. It measures our coverage, not how open the person is. Each further kind of record scores higher, up to eight. Political donation records matched to a person by name alone are not counted: they may belong to someone else with the same name. From October 7, 2026, our own AI-written summary and the profile photo are not counted either — neither is a public record — so grades that leaned on them moved down that day.
