Political ProfileWhere GWW sits in Washington
[object Object]
STRUCTURAL: Federal contract base of $235.7M across four agencies, including DHS and GSA, provides revenue stability. EVIDENTIARY: No corporate insider buys in 180 days (tier F), but active congressional trading by Rep. Khanna (5 trades) and a Trump holding ($1,001-$15,000) indicate political awareness. Net: Moderate structural support offset by lack of lobbying or donation patterns.
