Political ProfileWhere TRU sits in Washington
[object Object]
STRUCTURAL: Clear jurisdictional alignment with three House Democrats on committees overseeing finance, judiciary/IP, and economic policy (`get_political_influence.lobbying_patterns[0-2].matches_committee` = true). Lobbying spend is low ($22.5K) but focused on core FCRA issues. EVIDENTIARY: Zero corporate insider buys in 180 days (`get_corporate_insider_signal.total_buys` = 0). No recent congressional trades or executive branch holdings. Federal contract revenue is negligible ($2.6K). Net: Structural alignment exists but is not corroborated by recent transactional evidence from insiders or the government.
