Healthcare-industry campaign money

Contributions coded to the healthcare / health-services sector, per the cited sources (FollowTheMoney.org / OpenSecrets; the Arizona Secretary of State portal does not code donors by industry). Figures are the itemized ($200+) contributions the source coded to the health sector, shown per election cycle with the cycle labeled on each line; the total sums the cycles shown. OpenSecrets/FollowTheMoney only code itemized gifts, and Arizona’s Clean Elections public financing means many legislators show little or none — a small figure, or none, is itself part of the record, and where we checked and found none we say so.

C- Our accountability grade
accountability & access to care — how we grade

Grade: C-. Gress took the committee’s second-largest health-sector total ($27,985, on a $1.2M war chest) — and the one health bill he led, HB2449, would have narrowed AHCCCS eligibility and ended hospital presumptive eligibility, restricting the pathways low-income Arizonans use to get covered. Governor Hobbs vetoed it. Money in, access down.
