Political ProfileWhere FCX sits in Washington
[object Object]
STRUCTURAL: Strong committee alignment with 8 politicians across relevant panels (Energy/Commerce, Energy/Natural Resources, Transportation) and $30K lobbying on mining/water issues. EVIDENTIARY: High-volume congressional trading (26 trades by Rep. Gottheimer, $350K purchase by Rep. Hern) but offset by zero corporate insider buys in 180 days (`get_corporate_insider_signal.total_buys: 0`) and an executive branch sale. Net: Active political engagement contrasts with weak internal and executive branch signals.
