Political ProfileWhere COHR sits in Washington
[object Object]
STRUCTURAL: Minimal direct government footprint ($0 federal contracts, $0 lobbying). EVIDENTIARY: Notable executive branch holding (Trump, $1,001-$15,000 per `get_executive_branch_exposure.by_ticker[0].holdings[0]`) and mixed congressional trading activity (3 distinct buyers, 1 distinct seller). Net: High-profile holding offset by lack of other financial or legislative engagement.
