I think the Wall Street Journal had the best lede on this:

“U.S. intelligence officials have examined more than a dozen sightings of unexplained aerial objects that displayed no visible propulsion or that used technology beyond the known capabilities of the U.S. or its adversaries, according to a senior U.S. official describing a new report.“

Interesting hypothesis

Also, this report from Wesleyan University is related and shows the same general trends. I would caution citing the data for specific races here as it pretty noisy data that relies on some assumptions.

As a Democratic political consultant who lived and worked in DC for years and has many friends who work on the Hill, I will tell you that this is exactly right.

Lobbyists do the same thing (target the staff), they just do it over coffee, lunch, drinks and/or briefing materials on a desk. 20- & 30-somethings run most of DC.
