FOR PUBLIC AFFAIRS FIRMS
Legislator-donor overlap, mapped from the bulk lobbying file.
Public affairs firms know the legislative landscape but rarely have a live read on the donor side. PollCap fuses Senate LDA, FEC, and IRS 990 into one map: who funds whom, who lobbies whom, where the influence pathways actually run.
What you get
Three things Public Affairs teams stop doing by hand
Senate LDA bulk-file ingest plus Capital Influence Score per registered lobbyist.
Cross-link from CanonicalDonor to LobbyingPerson to IrsPerson, all on one canonical identity.
Capital Engine briefs delivered in 90 seconds for client deliverables.
The pattern we see
What is actually broken for Public Affairs teams today
Tracks the legislative landscape but has no read on which legislators are losing fundraising momentum.
Cannot answer the client question 'who is most likely to flip on this vote?'
Donor-to-legislator overlap is invisible in a way that hurts client strategy.

Client request for legislator-donor mapping
Sample finding
“A boutique PA firm used PollCap to map legislator-donor overlap on a tax bill markup. The brief identified three swing-vote legislators whose top donors lobbied opposite ways.”
This is the kind of finding PollCap surfaces for Public Affairs teams in the first week. Specific to your file. Cited to a real signal.
