James Baird voted on 166 bills. He received $673,820 in donations. There is a strong pattern between donation amounts and how often he voted yes. Higher donations correlate with higher rates of voting yes. Baird voted yes on all bills from the Construction sector. He also voted yes on all bills from the Energy/Natural Resources sector.

Fewer than 5 other members of the IN House delegation have comparable data right now, so no peer comparison is shown.

This analysis shows factual patterns in public data. Campaign contributions are legal and do not indicate wrongdoing. Voting alignment with donor industries is common across all legislators. Correlation does not indicate causation or improper behavior.
