Federal contracts in the district
Contract obligations attributed to Puerto Rico (resident commissioner) by each action's county and its award's ZIP code (land shares through census tracts); an estimate where ZIP codes cross district lines. Shown next to the member's record: neither explains the other.
Contract money is attributed to districts from the 118th Congress boundaries onward; this member's last district predates them.
Campaign money
What the member's campaigns reported receiving, per FEC two-year cycle, and the federal contracts of the organizations that sponsor the giving PACs (each sponsor matched to a contract recipient by AI, with its probability). Comparisons of public records: neither explains the other.
