PFD High Outside Income

What this detector measures

Senator's PFD reports earned income ≥$200K — well above $174K senate salary; warrants payer-source scrutiny.

What to ask the senator's office

1. Who are the named high-paying payers, and do they have federal-policy interests before the senator's committee?
2. What services did the senator render in exchange for the income (book, speaking, consulting, board comp)?
3. Were any income spikes correlated with specific committee actions or votes?
