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

Lou Correa, a Democrat representing California's 46th House district since 2017, serves on the House Committee on Homeland Security and the House Committee on the Judiciary. This profile details the $572,813.39 in direct campaign contributions he received during the current cycle, the $284.68 in supporting independent expenditures, and the combined total of $573,098.07. All reported contributions and expenditures are drawn from official FEC filings. No independent expenditures opposed him.

Top Organizational Funders (Current Cycle)

The largest direct contributor was Citi Cards, which gave $15,851.44, reflecting support from the financial services sector. The American Israel Public Affairs Committee contributed $9,250, a foreign‑policy advocacy group. Democracy Engine LLC added $9,000, a political consulting firm. US Bank provided multiple donations, the biggest being $7,174.72, with additional amounts ranging from $6,300 to $7,000, representing the banking industry. The only independent expenditure group reported was Courage California Super PAC, which spent $284.68 on ads supporting Correa.

Funding Pattern

Pattern observation: the bulk of Correa's direct funding comes from the financial services sector, notably credit‑card issuer Citi Cards and multiple contributions from US Bank. These contributions do not map directly onto the jurisdiction of his Homeland Security or Judiciary committee assignments, which focus on national security, immigration, and federal law. The American Israel Public Affairs Committee, a foreign‑policy advocacy group, also appears among his top donors, though the Judiciary Committee occasionally handles issues relevant to foreign policy litigation. Democracy Engine LLC, a political‑tech consultancy, contributes to campaign operations but its business does not intersect with his committee work. Independent expenditure activity is minimal, with only $284.68 from a single supporting Super PAC and no opposing expenditures recorded. No tracked votes are currently linked to specific bills, so a direct vote‑donor alignment cannot be assessed at this time.
