Who This Is

Sanford Bishop, a Democrat representing Georgia's 2nd House district, serves in the U.S. House of Representatives; his start date is not listed in public records. This profile details the $790,573.90 in direct contributions he received and the $24,275.85 in supporting independent expenditures, for a combined total of $814,849.75. No committee assignments are recorded for Bishop, and no opposing independent expenditures were reported. The page separates direct donor contributions from outside-group spending to provide a clear financial snapshot.

Top Organizational Funders (Current Cycle)

The largest direct contributors each gave $5,000: the National Association of Letter Carriers of USA Political Fund (a postal workers union), the Black Economic Alliance PAC (a minority business advocacy group), the NEA Fund for Children & Public Education (education sector), the Texas Farm Bureau AgFund and the North Carolina Farm Bureau PAC (both representing agricultural interests). Additional notable contributors include the National Association of Realtors Political Action Committee (real‑estate), Deere & Company PAC (agricultural equipment), Coca‑Cola Company Nonpartisan Committee for Good Government (beverage industry), and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee PAC (foreign‑policy advocacy). Among independent expenditure groups, United We Can spent $14,340 supporting Bishop, and With Honor Fund II, Inc. contributed $4,986.92 in support; no groups spent to oppose him.

Funding Pattern

Pattern observation: Bishop has no recorded committee assignments, so there is no direct legislative jurisdiction linking him to the sectors of his top donors such as agriculture, postal services, or education. The presence of multiple agricultural PACs (Texas and North Carolina Farm Bureaus, Deere & Company) suggests a broad base of support from farming interests, though without committee influence the connection remains indirect. Educational and labor‑related donors like the NEA Fund and the Letter Carriers Fund also contribute modestly, reflecting typical Democratic‑aligned constituencies. Independent expenditure activity is limited to a modest $24,276 in support and zero opposition, indicating relatively low outside‑group spending compared with the direct contribution total. No tracked votes are linked to Bishop, so alignment between his voting record and donor interests cannot be assessed at this time.
