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. Yvette D. Clarke, a Democrat representing New York’s 9th congressional district since 2007, serves on the House Committee on Energy and Commerce and is the Ranking Member of its Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations. This profile details her direct campaign contributions, the absence of independent expenditures, and the combined total of $595,900. All reported funding comes from organizational PACs, with no Super‑PAC support or opposition spending. The page separates direct contributions from independent expenditures for transparency.

Top Organizational Funders (Current Cycle)

The three largest direct contributors each gave $5,000: Kidney Care Partners Political Action Committee, representing the health‑care sector; The Home Depot Inc. Political Action Committee, a retail‑home improvement group; and The Council of Insurance Agents & Brokers Political Action Committee, a trade association for insurance professionals. Additional notable donors include Swedish Match North America LLC PAC ($5,000), a tobacco‑product company, and NCTA – The Internet and Television Association PAC ($5,000), representing the broadband and telecommunications industry. All contributions are from PACs; there were no supporting or opposing Super‑PAC expenditures reported. Each donor contributed the same amount, indicating no single dominant financial backer.

Funding Pattern

Funding for Rep. Clarke comes exclusively from modest $5,000 contributions by a diverse set of industry PACs, reflecting a broad but low‑level donor base. Her position on the Energy and Commerce Committee aligns with the sectors of several donors, such as health‑care (Kidney Care), insurance, and communications (NCTA), which fall under the committee’s regulatory jurisdiction. The presence of a tobacco‑related donor (Swedish Match) also corresponds to the committee’s authority over product labeling and commerce. No independent expenditure activity was recorded for either support or opposition, indicating no external Super‑PAC involvement in this cycle. Because no tracked votes are linked to her record, the profile cannot assess vote alignment with donor interests. As Ranking Member of the Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee, she may influence investigations affecting these industries, though no specific legislative actions are cited.
