“Agrees with you” compares your recorded position on a bill against this member's vote on the bill's decisive roll call — passage or an equivalent up-or-down vote, not procedural motions. Abstentions are excluded rather than counted as disagreement.

Who funds them

FEC filings, 2024 + 2026 cycles

$578k

from PACs

319

contributions

$3,000

moved between their own committees

$20

spent supporting them

A PAC can give a candidate up to $10,000 per election cycle — $5,000 for the primary and $5,000 for the general — so totals spanning two cycles run to about $20,000 at the top end. Occasional larger figures usually mean a special election or a runoff, which counts as another election.

Money moved between committees the candidate controls — a House campaign fund transferred to a Senate run, for instance. It isn't a donation from anyone and isn't counted as one.

The PAC figures above are the organizations' own contributions only. Earmarked money they merely carried is listed separately, and independent expenditures separately again — they aren't gifts to the campaign, and money spent against a member would otherwise appear as backing.

itemised, from 189 gifts

That's state, not district. ZIP codes straddle congressional districts, so placing a donation inside one would be a guess — and this site doesn't guess. For a House member, treat the out-of-state figure as a floor: some of the in-state money came from outside the district too.

Where their donors work

  • Communicare6 donors$8,000
  • Cordish Companies2 donors$7,000
  • Morgan State University10 donors$6,500
  • Lawrence Bundy2 donors$5,000
  • Visionary2 donors$5,000
  • Johns Hopkins University7 donors$4,169
  • Healthsource Distributors3 donors$4,000
  • Curio Wellness1 donor$3,500
  • Medstar Health3 donors$3,375
  • Mt Royal Management Company1 donor$3,000

Grouped from what donors wrote in the employer box on their own filing. It's free text, so “retired”, “self” and “homemaker” are dropped rather than dressed up as employers — and one employer can appear twice under two spellings, because merging them would mean guessing which spellings mean the same thing. A company listed here has given nothing itself; its employees have, as individuals.

Maximum donors

People who gave at least one full election maximum — 5 such contributions in total. The largest 4 are listed.

  • WEINBERG, JOSEPHMD$7,000
  • BRONFEIN, MICHAELMD$3,500
  • STUDDARD, JONATHANMD$3,500
  • BUNDY, THOMASMD$3,500

Name and state only — no address, no employer, and no way to search for a person on this site. These are public FEC filings, but someone who gave $3,500 is a private citizen, not a public official, and the point of listing them is to show who funds a politician rather than to build a directory of donors.

Individual giving is aggregated by the FEC and read from its API — including the $8,589 given in amounts under $200, which never appears in the bulk download because donors under that threshold aren't named. Source: FEC ↗

When a donor said what it wanted

18 bills
50%

Voted with donors

9 of 18

Across 18 bills where an organization that gave Mfume money publicly stated what it wanted, and Mfume cast a recorded vote. Those organizations gave $203k in total.

Read this carefully: it counts only bills where the organization itself stated a position, in its own lobbying filing or a public statement, and where the member cast a recorded vote. VoteWire never guesses what a donor wanted. And alignment is not influence — PACs overwhelmingly give to members who already vote their way, so a high number more often reflects who chose whom than who bought whom. The full method.

Did they keep their word?

stated position vs. recorded vote

Fair warning on reading this section: a bill can change a great deal between the day a member adds their name to it and the day it reaches the floor. Voting against a bill you cosponsored is sometimes a reversal and sometimes a reasonable response to an amendment — which is why every row links to the official record instead of just handing you a verdict.
