Political ProfileWhere AEP sits in Washington
[object Object]
STRUCTURAL: High regulatory density from 8 impacting energy bills and federal contracts across 7 agencies ($32.4M). EVIDENTIARY: Active congressional trading (9 transactions by 3 members, net purchases by Reps. Khanna and Loudermilk) and executive branch exposure (stock held by Donald J. Trump per `get_executive_branch_exposure.by_ticker[0].holdings[0]`). Net: Strong structural exposure is offset by a lack of direct lobbying spend or corporate insider buying (`get_corporate_insider_signal.total_buys` = 0).
