Political ProfileWhere VZ sits in Washington
[object Object]
STRUCTURAL: High committee alignment (House Energy and Commerce, Appropriations) via donations to 8 members including chairs/ranking members. $250,000 lobbying spend in 2025 aligns with a member of the Science Committee. EVIDENTIARY: Zero corporate insider buys in 180 days (`get_corporate_insider_signal.total_buys: 0`). Congressional trading is active but mixed (16 trades, 9 purchases, 7 sales). Net: Strong structural access outweighs weak evidentiary buying.
