The payback

How they voted on their funders' bills

On the 20 key votes where Marsha Blackburn had taken $10K+ from the industry with a stake, they voted the industry's way 17 times (85%). Money is PAC checks plus credited super PAC support across every run since 2020; “with industry” is the vote the industry lobbied for.
