General Dynamics, Congress, and the money trail

Federal contracts are one side of the ledger. The other is political money. See which members of Congress are funded by Defense & Aerospace employers, how the federal budget breaks down by agency, and whether any member of Congress has traded GD stock.

About this data

Campaign finance figures are aggregated from public Federal Election Commission filings (public domain). Stock trades, lobbying, and contract figures are derived from disclosures compiled by QuiverQuant. Contributions are grouped by the donor's reported employer — they are not OpenSecrets industry clusters, and the totals combine individual contributions with affiliated PAC activity where reported.

Contributions and disclosures are not proof of influence. They show who gave and what was reported, not why a member voted a particular way. Amounts reflect the cycle or as-of dates noted beside each figure and may be revised as later filings are processed.

Want to dig deeper or request the underlying records yourself? See our FOIA guide, or go straight to the FEC data portal and QuiverQuant.
