Track record
Assembled from Congress.gov · FEC · official disclosures — each fact links its own source
- Roll-call participation →
voted in 3 recorded roll calls · chamber median 100.0%
Missing a vote is not inherently negative — an absence can be excused, reflect leadership or committee duty, or a recorded pairing.
- Bills sponsored →
plus 258 cosponsored
A count of bills introduced as the primary sponsor; most legislation never advances, regardless of who sponsors it.
- Sponsored bills enacted →
of 35 bills sponsored
Whether a bill becomes law depends on the whole Congress, not the sponsor alone; substantive provisions often pass folded into other vehicles.
- Documented positions →
no positions documented yet
Documented, sourced positions we have on record — the absence of a documented position is not the absence of a view.
- Committee assignments →
committees and subcommittees
Committee seats are assignments made by party leadership — a measure of role and jurisdiction, not an achievement or a conflict in itself.
- Disclosed stock trades →
10 tickers · 4 in a sector a committee they sit on oversees
Disclosed trades are legally required public filings (STOCK Act), not evidence of wrongdoing; trades may be executed by a manager or held in a blind trust.
- Documented relationships →
neutral overlap signals (e.g., committee oversight of a traded sector)
A documented relationship is a factual overlap in the public record — NOT evidence of wrongdoing.
Assembled from CivicGate's ingested public records for Raul Ruiz. A fact shown as “—” means we don't yet hold that data — not that the value is zero.

Outside spending on this race
Data from FEC, Schedule E independent expenditures
Independent expenditures are money outside groups (PACs / super-PACs) spend to support or oppose a candidate without coordinating with their campaign. What's this? →
Issue positions (1)
Documented + CivicGate vote-derived — stated positions link their source; derived positions come from votes on direction-tagged bills
- Economy & TaxesOppose from votes
Documented relationships
Documented facts about Ruiz, aggregated from public records. A documented relationship is not evidence of wrongdoing — it is context, not a conclusion.
- Committee oversight & trading — technology coverage: high
Sits on the House Committee on Energy and Commerce and the House Committee on Energy and Commerce — Communications and Technology, which oversee the technology sector, and disclosed 3 technology-sector trades (disclosed amounts up to $250,000) between Jan 2015 and Jul 2017.
Counts only disclosed trades we could tag to a sector; sector coverage is partial, so the real total may be higher.
