Money in politics / Power map

Who decides money-in-politics reform in Congress

A map built around who controls the path of a bill, not the bills. On the left, the groups that back or oppose bills. In the middle, the committees those bills go through. On the right, the leaders and floor that decide. Each card names the seat first, with the person who holds it now.

Checked November 9, 2026. Congress only: no state lawmakers are on this map.

The new Congress starts Jan 3, 2027. Until then the current officeholders below stay in their seats. The next chairs, ranking members and leaders are not named yet, and this map does not guess them.

What we did not find: a usable group statement on 9 of the 23 bills, a complete current list of cosponsors, any documented donor or personal-influence link to a lawmaker, and any official 2027 committee or leadership choices. No position found does not mean no position exists.

How the rules work

  • Committee chairs set committee agendas; committee majorities vote to report. A ranking member is not granted a unilateral reporting veto by this source. Only full committees can report to a chamber. congress.gov
  • House majority leadership chooses floor business; it may seek a special rule. Calendar placement does not guarantee a vote. congress.gov
  • Senate bills may be taken up through a motion to proceed or unanimous consent; an objection blocks the consent route. Cloture on the H.R.7008 motion required three-fifths and failed, not final passage. congress.gov senate.gov
  • Each chamber chooses its rules; Article V requires two-thirds of both houses to propose an amendment and three-fourths of states to ratify via the prescribed route. senate.gov

The new Congress

The new Congress starts Jan 3, 2027. Until then the current officeholders below stay in their seats. The next chairs, ranking members and leaders are not named yet, and this map does not guess them.

  • House: Democratic control called by AP (high confidence). This is a media call, not a statement that every state has certified.
  • Senate: Democratic control called by AP. This is a media call. Final margin unresolved, with some races still uncalled in November 9 reporting.

No official 120th Congress committee or leadership choices were found yet.
