Committee Assignments

Why this matters: committee seats are where legislative influence actually happens -- they are frequently the direct explanation for which industries and interest groups direct money toward a given member.

Timeline

Who This Is

Nanette Barragan, a Democrat representing California's 44th House district, has served in Congress since 2017. This profile details the sources of her campaign financing, separating direct contributions from independent expenditures, and notes the combined total of $598,861.06. Direct contributions total $598,400, while supporting independent expenditures amount to $461.06, with no recorded opposition spending. The page focuses on these financial flows and her committee assignment to the House Energy and Commerce Committee.

Top Organizational Funders (Current Cycle)

The five largest direct contributors each gave $5,000: the National Association of Broadcasters Political Action Committee (broadcast industry), the Consumer Technology Association PAC (technology sector), the International Union of Operating Engineers Local No. 12 Voluntary Legislative Fund (construction union), the Machinists Non‑Partisan Political League of the International Association of Machinists (skilled‑trade union), and the Office of the Commissioner of Major League Baseball Political Action Committee (sports industry). Among independent expenditure groups, the Planned Parenthood Advocacy Project Los Angeles County Action Fund spent $175.50 supporting Barragan, and the Courage California Super PAC contributed $166.46 in support. Both groups are listed as supporting expenditures, with no opposition spending recorded.

Funding Pattern

Barragan serves on the Energy and Commerce Committee, which has jurisdiction over health care, pharmaceuticals, telecommunications, and consumer technology—areas directly linked to several top donors such as NABPAC (broadcast), the Consumer Technology Association PAC, Biomarin, Amgen, and Novo Nordisk PACs, all of which operate in sectors overseen by the committee. Union contributions from the International Union of Operating Engineers and the Machinists league align with the committee's interest in labor issues within the manufacturing and infrastructure sectors. The modest level of independent expenditure support ($461.06) and the absence of any opposition spending suggest limited outside‑group contestation in this cycle. No recent votes are currently tied to tracked bills, so a direct vote‑to‑donor alignment cannot be assessed at this time. Overall, the funding pattern shows a concentration of relatively small contributions from a mix of industry trade groups, health‑care companies, and labor unions, consistent with the broad policy scope of the Energy and Commerce Committee.
