Political ProfileWhere LAC sits in Washington

[object Object]

STRUCTURAL: High government dependence (85) and regulatory density (90) due to mining sector and critical mineral status, with a major structural support via a $2.26B DOE loan (`get_government_precedent.equity_stakes[0]`). EVIDENTIARY: No evidentiary signals from corporate insider buys (`get_corporate_insider_signal.top_buys` is empty) or congressional trading (`Top congressional traders` is empty).
