Political ProfileWhere DRI sits in Washington
[object Object]
STRUCTURAL: No federal contracts (`get_government_precedent.federal_contracts_summary` is null), $0 lobbying spend (`get_political_influence.lobbying.total_income` is 0), and no corporate insider buys (`Recent corp insider Form 4 buys` array empty). EVIDENTIARY: Concentrated trading interest from 3 congressional members (15 total trades in 12 months), but activity is mixed (Rep. McGarvey shows paired buys/sales). Net: Evidentiary trading is offset by a complete lack of structural political engagement, resulting in a neutral net signal.
