Corruption Risk · 4-Vector Breakdown
Corruption isn't just trade-based. Here's the four ways political pressure can flow, scored independently from the public record.
Vector 1 · Personal Enrichment trade-based
Representative Foster has filed zero trades across all recorded periods (`get_sponsor_profile.trade_pattern`: 'inactive'), creating a near-zero conflict-of-interest footprint on the trading dimension. This inactivity is consistent with his public positioning as a scientist-legislator focused on policy rather than personal portfolio management (`get_sponsor_profile.trading_style`). No sector anomalies exist as there is no trading history to analyze (`get_politician_intelligence.sector_expertise`: []).

Vector 2 · Donor Funding money in
Total PAC funding over five years is $19.85M (`get_donor_industry_breakdown.total_pac_direct_usd`). The top PAC industry is a broad 'corporate_other' category at 33.4%, followed by finance (18.1%) and labor (11.2%) (`get_donor_industry_breakdown.top_industries`). This creates a notable tension with his Financial Services Committee seat, as finance is the second-largest industry donor (`get_sponsor_profile.profile.donor_base`).
