Political ProfileWhere RCL 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, repeated congressional buying by one member (Rep. K000389, 7 buys) and one sale by Rep. S001229 ($50k-$100k). Net: Evidentiary signal from congressional activity is offset by a complete lack of structural political engagement, resulting in a neutral aggregate signal.
