Funds for Favors 2: The Industry Strikes Back EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Campaign contributions follow power, and special interests arent subtle about currying favor with the powerful. New research by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) shows after control of the House flipped in 2010 Democratic committee chairmen demoted to ranking members saw campaign contributions plummet from industries their committees oversee. Conversely, Republican ranking members who assumed House committee chairmanships in the wake of the shift saw a corresponding increase in contributions. CREWs analysis also found 80% of the chairs and ranking members included in our study reported receiving a growing share of their campaign contributions from industries overseen by their committees. This trend raises questions about whether committee leaders are overly dependent on the campaign contributions of those over which they have regulatory authority. In 2011, CREW released its first Funds for Favors report, which analyzed campaign contributions to the chairmen and ranking members of ten House committees. Our analysis, which included data from the 1998 through the 2010 election cycles, revealed that as members power and seniority increased, the industries they were responsible for regulating steered more and more money into their campaign coffers. This new edition of the report compares campaign finance data from the 2010 election cycle to the 2012 election cycle, and shows industries are continuing to shower campaign cash on lawmakers who oversee them. Both editions of the report rely on federal campaign contribution data provided by MapLight. During the 2012 election cycle, the industries examined by CREW donated almost $8.3 million to the chairmen and ranking members of committees responsible for overseeing them, compared to almost $6.7 million to the same members during the 2010 election cycle. In all, contributions from relevant industries to committee leaders increased by 24% between 2010 and 2012, far more than the 10% growth in those lawmakers total contributions. The trends cut across party affiliation and committees. For instance, Rep. Collin Peterson (D-MN), chairman of the House Committee on Agriculture during the 111th Congress, saw his donations from the agriculture industry drop by 20% when he became the committees ranking member. Despite that, agriculture industry contributions still made up 51% of his total contributions during the 2012 election cycle, up from 47% of his total contributions during the 2010 election cycle. Rep. Frank Lucas (R-OK), who served as the ranking member of the House

Committee on Agriculture during the 111th Congress, saw his donations from the agriculture industry soar by 66% when he became the committees chairman. They now make up more than 47% of his total contributions, compared to 41% during the 2010 election cycle. Rep. John Kline (R-MN), who took over the House Committee on Education and the Workforce in 2011, saw a 155% increase in contributions from education and workforce-related industries while his demoted counterpart, Rep. George Miller (D-CA), saw his industry contributions drop by 52%. Much of the shift was driven by the education industry, which more than tripled campaign contributions to Rep. Kline while essentially ending contributions to Rep. Miller. Rep. Fred Uptons (R-MI) campaign contributions from interests regulated by the House Energy and Commerce Committee increased by 45% after he became chairman in 2011, while Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA), who shifted from chairman to ranking member at the same time, reported a 29% drop in contributions from the same interests. A major factor in the shift was contributions from health services and HMOs, which nearly quadrupled to Rep. Upton but fell by 86% to Rep. Waxman. CREWs latest findings show House committee chairmen and ranking members continue to lean heavily on the industries they oversee for campaign contributions. The pattern should prompt closer scrutiny of whether the most powerful members of the House are serving the interests of the industries pouring money into their campaign coffers rather than the public.

METHODOLOGY CREW examined campaign contributions to standing House committee chairmen and ranking members from industries under the jurisdictions of their committees. CREW used the list of standing committees published by the House clerks office, as well as individual committee websites, to identify committee leaders. CREW used a MapLight analysis of campaign contribution data from the Center for Responsive Politics (CRP), which identifies and categorizes individual contributions based on industry.1 CREW relied on CRPs list of committee-related industries for the six committees it tracks: Agriculture; Armed Services; Energy and Commerce; Financial Services; Natural Resources; and Transportation and Infrastructure. For the committees CRP does not track, CREW relied on CRPs industry definitions and matched those industries with the committees that regulate them as outlined by House Rule 10 of the Rules for the 113th Congress. These committees include: Education and the Workforce; Homeland Security; Judiciary; and Science, Space, and Technology. Campaign contribution data includes the total amount received by the members campaign committee and political action committee (PAC) for both the 2010 and the 2012 election cycle. In several cases, a members PAC was initially formed sometime during that period and CREW noted the date of formation. CREW used voting data provided by MapLight, which maintains records of how each member of Congress voted during floor votes and uses public records to categorize which interest groups, companies, and organizations support and oppose key bills in Congress. Congressional voting data is included for the 112th Congress.

Campaign finance data was collected from CRPs database in March 2013 and does not reflect subsequent amendments.

REPRESENTATIVE FRANK LUCAS (R-OK) Chairman, House Committee on Agriculture Rep. Lucass contributions from the agriculture industry jumped by two-thirds between the 2010 and 2012 cycles, an increase that tracked his 2011 elevation from ranking member to committee chair. He was included in CREWs 2011 Funds for Favors report, which found that between 1998 and 2010, contributions from the agriculture industry to Rep. Lucas increased at a rate far outpacing his total contributions.1 During the 112th Congress, after becoming chair of the Agriculture Committee, Rep. Lucas voted in agreement with the interests regulated by the Agriculture Committee slightly more frequently than the average Republican.
