Earmarks they asked for
Congressionally directed spending enacted at their request, alone or with others: 10 earmarks, $23.6M. None went to an organization whose employees are among their donors.
- To an organization whose employees gave to them
- To one whose lobbying firm's lobbyists gave to them
- Other earmarks
Against chance: no one else in their state's delegation asked for earmarks of the same kind on their own, so there's none to compare with. Against every earmark for the state, senators' included (the 9 of theirs in a year and account others' earmarks share): 0 went to their donors' employers, about 0 by chance; but senators fund larger, statewide recipients, so this mostly measures the kind of recipient.
