Michael T. McCaul

Outside groups also spend on their own to elect or defeat McCaul, running ads for or against the race. This money never passes through the campaign, so it is counted apart from the money organized for McCaul. Whether a dollar supported or opposed McCaul is the group’s own filing, never our reading.

The colour names the side the money helps: spending to elect McCaul helps McCaul’s party, and spending to defeat McCaul helps the other side. The totals cover every group that spent; the list shows the largest.

Travel a private sponsor paid for, filed by McCaul’s office with the House or Senate ethics office, by McCaul or by staff. Newest first.

Periodic transaction reports, which the STOCK Act asks for within 45 days of most trades in individual stocks and bonds. Trades in qualifying funds are reported only once a year, on the annual disclosure, and are not counted here. Filed late counts trades reported more than 45 days after the trade.

The votes McCaul cast on the bills this site reads and writes up, not every roll call the chamber took. A position is the member’s own recorded vote on that bill’s passage. Broke with party marks a vote cast against the majority of McCaul’s own party; it is never set for a vote of present, a missed vote, an independent, or a party evenly split. Each party’s bar fills with the share of its members who voted yea, beside its yea and nay count. A not voting mark means McCaul was not recorded on that roll call. Members miss votes for many reasons, from travel to illness to leadership duties.

House Clerk and Senate roll call records, joined to the bills this site decodes. Every row opens to a plain summary of the bill, a link to where every member stood, and the bill on Congress.gov.

The sponsor is the member who introduced the measure, a different act from cosponsoring somebody else’s. A resolution that its chamber, or both chambers, agreed to has finished its process and is filed under Adopted.

Where the stage and place are the same for the rows shown, a row gives the number of members listed as cosponsors of the measure in the same bulk data instead.

The stage on each measure is the furthest point the record states it reached, and the date is when it reached it. A measure that stops at a stage has not necessarily ended: text is regularly folded into another vehicle that moves on under a different number, and the record against this number simply stops being written. Nothing here counts, names or ranks what did not happen.

Committee stages come from dated committee activities. Passage, presentation and veto stages come from the measure’s own actions; law records identify enactment. The date beside the bill number belongs to the stage shown below.

Lobbying reports (LD-2) whose issue text names one of McCaul’s bills by number, counted as a floor: a report may describe a bill without its number. Most named first. Source: the Senate lobbying disclosure database.

Cosponsoring puts a member’s name on a text. It is a public position, not a vote, and not a promise of one.

Most cosponsorships are signed when the measure is introduced; a row says so only when the name was added later, or withdrawn.

A policy area that does not appear here is one McCaul has not put a name on in this Congress. That is silence, not opposition, and it is left blank rather than counted.

The Library of Congress files each measure under one policy area; the shares cover the 185 of 186 measures on this record that carry one. It adds finer legislative subjects to only part of the corpus: the subjects cover 75 of 186, and show the 10 most common of 241.
