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

Rep. Troy A. Carter Sr., a Democrat from Louisiana's 2nd district, has served in the House since 2021. This page details the $556,600 in direct organizational contributions he received, the $827.5 in supporting independent expenditures, and the combined $557,427.5 total. It also lists his assignments to the Homeland Security Committee and the Energy and Commerce Committee. The data reflect the most recent two‑year filing cycle.

Top Organizational Funders (Current Cycle)

The three largest direct contributors each gave $5,000: the National Association of Letter Carriers Political Fund (a postal workers union), the Crescent River Port Pilots Association Federal Political Action Committee (pilots union), and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Political Action Committee (electrical workers union). Additional notable donors include the International Association of Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers Political Action League ($5,000, a metal‑workers union) and The Home Depot Inc. Political Action Committee ($5,000, a corporate retail PAC). On the independent‑expenditure side, the Democratic State Central Committee of Louisiana spent $827.5 supporting Carter, with no reported opposition spending.

Funding Pattern

Carter's top donors are predominantly labor unions representing postal carriers, pilots, electricians, and sheet‑metal workers, sectors that are regularly overseen by the Energy and Commerce Committee's jurisdiction over labor standards, workplace safety, and commerce. His service on the Homeland Security Committee does not align directly with any of the reported donor industries, as no defense‑contractor or security‑related PACs appear among the top contributors. The modest $827.5 in supporting Super PAC money indicates limited outside‑group activity, and there were no opposing independent expenditures recorded. Because no tracked votes are linked to his record in this cycle, there is no specific voting evidence to assess alignment with donor interests. Overall, the funding pattern shows a concentration of union support consistent with his committee work on commerce‑related labor issues, while corporate influence is minimal, limited to a single retail PAC.
