• Thomas CottonFEC filing: Thomas Cotton · S4AR00103 ↗

  Sitting member of Congress · Tom Cotton

  In the U.S. Senate (AR) since 2015 · current term ends Jan 3, 2027

  • Recorded yea or nay on 16 of the 16 key Senate floor votes captured in Hugin's snapshot
  • 3 committees: Armed Services, Energy and Natural Resources, Select Committee on Intelligence (Chairman) · 6 subcommittees
  • 259 committees reported contributions to them this cycle · 1 committee reported outside spending for or against them

  Linked to this filing by its exact FEC candidate ID (S4AR00103) in the congress-legislators roster of Oct 21, 2026. Votes are one key floor vote per bill on bills named in contractor lobbying reports (Oct 29, 2026); committee seats are the roster as of Oct 24, 2026; money counts are FEC reports for 2026 as of Oct 24, 2026. These are what Hugin's snapshots captured, not complete records, and none of them is a score or evidence of motive.
