Documented relationships

Documented facts about Mcclellan, aggregated from public records. A documented relationship is not evidence of wrongdoing — it is context, not a conclusion.

  • Committee oversight & trading — telecom coverage: high

    Sits on the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, which oversees the telecom sector, and disclosed 2 telecom-sector trades (disclosed amounts up to $350,000) between May 2023 and Apr 2026.

    Counts only disclosed trades we could tag to a sector; sector coverage is partial, so the real total may be higher.
