FEC filings show Brad Knott's brother put $1,735,000 into The American Foundations Committee. His father, his sister, and his brother the Senate chief of staff gave more. The PAC spent $1.3 million promoting him and $1.06 million attacking two other Republicans.

In 2018 he convened a roundtable to defend Smithfield after three juries sided with the neighbors of its waste lagoons — 'Nuisance is like beauty. It's in the eye of the beholder.' In 2026 he took credit for a farm bill provision that voids other states' livestock laws. Pork PAC money since 2020: $35,000.
In 2012 Rouzer carried the Senate version of the bill that stopped North Carolina's coastal agencies from setting a sea-level-rise rate for four years — 'there was consensus years and years and years ago that the earth was flat.'
