Lockheed Martin Corporation's PAC funded 21 members of Congress. 10 of them are connected to the company in two more ways.
Lockheed Martin Corporation — money, a committee seat, and the stock
First, the money: Lockheed's PAC spread $225K across 21 members' campaigns.
Then the access: 10 of those funded members — Wittman, Courtney, Franklin and 7 others — sit on committees including Armed Services and Science, Space, and Technology, with jurisdiction over industrials.
Industrials is Lockheed's industry — and that committee is where its rules, funding, and oversight get written.
And the market: those same 10 members also traded LMT — the stock of the company funding their campaigns.
The 10 members

| Valerie HoyleD-OR | $5k | 5 | Transportation and Infrastructure | 2 |
| Tommy TubervilleR-AL | $4k | 4 | Armed Services | 2 |
The other 11 also took PAC money and disclosed LMT 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.
