Oracle Corporation's PAC funded 5 members of Congress. 3 of them are connected to the company in two more ways.
Oracle Corporation — money, a committee seat, and the stock
First, the money: Oracle's PAC spread $15K across 5 members' campaigns.
Then the access: 3 of those funded members — Moskowitz, McCaul, and Guest — sit on committees including Judiciary and Homeland Security, with jurisdiction over technology.
Technology is Oracle's industry — and that committee is where its rules, funding, and oversight get written.
And the market: those same 3 members also traded ORCL — the stock of the company funding their campaigns.
The 3 members
| Member | PAC $ | Gifts | Committee | Trades |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jared MoskowitzD-FL | $2k | 2 | Judiciary | 6 |
| Michael McCaulR-TX | $2k | 2 | Homeland Security | 35 |
| Michael GuestR-MS | $1k | 2 | Homeland Security | 1 |
The other 2 also took PAC money and disclosed ORCL trades — but hold no current seat on a committee overseeing technology.
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.
