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

Rep. Nicholas James LaLota (R-NY) kept 8 of 14 scored promises on his record, a 57% kept rate. His broken commitment: he pledged to hold the line on federal spending, but voting data on that claim is not yet available to confirm the misalignment. He sponsored HR 586, the Vietnam Veterans Liver Fluke Cancer Study Act, and HR 788, the DOE and SBA Research Act. We don't yet have details on his top donors or how his votes aligned with their interests—that data is still being processed. Five additional promises remain partially kept. His record shows modest promise-keeping, though we cannot yet connect donor patterns to votes.

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