The Boeing Company's PAC funded 16 members of Congress. 7 of them are connected to the company in two more ways.
The Boeing Company — money, a committee seat, and the stock
First, the money: The's PAC spread $244K across 16 members' campaigns.
Then the access: 7 of those funded members — Rouzer, Westerman, Keating and 4 others — sit on committees including Science, Space, and Technology and Transportation and Infrastructure, with jurisdiction over industrials.
Industrials is The's industry — and that committee is where its rules, funding, and oversight get written.
And the market: those same 7 members also traded BA — the stock of the company funding their campaigns.
The 7 members
| Member | PAC $ | Gifts | Committee | Trades |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| David RouzerR-NC | $21k | 16 | Science, Space, and Technology | 1 |
| Bruce WestermanR-AR | $15k | 14 | Transportation and Infrastructure | 2 |
| William KeatingD-MA | $13k | 12 | Armed Services | 3 |
| Valerie HoyleD-OR | $7k | 6 | Transportation and Infrastructure | 2 |
| Gilbert CisnerosD-CA | $4k | 3 | Armed Services | 9 |
| Pat FallonR-TX | $2k | 2 | Armed Services | 13 |
| Robert BresnahanR-PA | $1k | 1 | Transportation and Infrastructure | 3 |
The other 9 also took PAC money and disclosed BA trades — but hold no current seat on a committee overseeing industrials.
PAC contributions are legal and disclosed. This surfaces co-occurrence of corporate donations, lobbying, and personal stock trades — not evidence of coordination or quid pro quo.
