Frame has two structurally independent conflicts. First, she is the Managing Partner of Uncommon Bridges, a consulting firm that contracts with the Department of Commerce and the Office of Equity, while she controls Commerce's budget through Ways & Means. Second, her spouse earns $500K-$750K from Google while she sponsors SB 5708, which directly regulates Google's platforms. Zero recusals filed on either conflict.
The pipeline: Work at consulting firm → get elected → firm builds portfolio of government clients while you serve → move into the committee that controls those clients' budgets → firm income depends on agencies you fund.
