The receipt · II’s tenureWho funds them · what they voted · broken promises

Rep. August Lee Pfluger receives heavy support from oil and gas companies and energy infrastructure firmsDiamondback Energy, Valero Energy, Exxon Mobil, Chevron, and Cheniere Energy each gave $10,000 in 2024. Telecom, real estate, and agricultural groups round out his funding base, contributing a total of $246,100 across 25 committees that cycle.

We don't yet have specific votes tied to individual donors in our records, so we cannot match his roll calls to funding patterns.

On his promises: Pfluger kept 9 of 14 graded commitments (64% kept rate), but broke one key pledge—to "Hold the line on federal spending." He also has 4 partial keeps. The broken spending commitment stands out because fiscal restraint is often a core talking point for Republican members in his district.

Narrated from FEC + Congress.gov receipts. Every figure traces to our data.
