The analysis of the Wetlands Conservation and Access Improvement Act of 2025, sponsored by Jeff Hurd, shows a low risk of conflicts of interest. The top donor industries to Hurd's campaign do not directly overlap with the subject matter of the bill. The retired, securities and investment, and government sectors, which are his top donors, have not shown any direct financial interest in wetland conservation. Furthermore, the lobbying activity related to this bill's policy area does not involve any of Hurd's top donors. The absence of financial overlap between the sponsor's donors and the bill's subject matter suggests a low likelihood of legislative conflicts of interest.
