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

Daniel Crenshaw is a Republican representing Texas’s 2nd congressional district in the U.S. House since 2019. This profile details the money he has received directly from organizations and PACs, the modest independent‑expenditure spending that has supported him, and the combined total of $851,043.53. Direct contributions amount to $849,663.42, while supporting super‑PAC activity adds $1,380.11 and there were no opposing independent expenditures. The page also notes his assignments to the Intelligence and Energy & Commerce committees.

Top Organizational Funders (Current Cycle)

The largest single donor is the political group 1776 Patriots United, which contributed a combined $225,206.43 across several filings. The Lukens Company, a manufacturing firm, gave $60,921.19, making it the second‑largest contributor. Hospitality‑sector donor Hotel Del Coronado contributed $10,974.39. Pro‑Israel advocacy PAC of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee donated $5,275.25. Energy giant ExxonMobil’s corporate PAC contributed $5,000, linking to the Energy and Commerce committee. On the independent‑expenditure side, the National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund spent $1,029.29 in support, while no groups funded opposing ads.

Funding Pattern

As chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence’s Subcommittee on Defense Intelligence and Overhead Architecture, Crenshaw’s receipt of contributions from defense‑related entities such as the Employees of Northrop Grumman Corporation PAC ($5,000) aligns with his oversight responsibilities. His seat on the Energy and Commerce Committee coincides with a $5,000 donation from ExxonMobil PAC, reflecting a direct connection to the energy sector’s legislative jurisdiction. The dominant support from 1776 Patriots United, a conservative advocacy group, underscores a broad grassroots backing that is typical for a Republican from Texas. Contributions from the Lukens Company and Hotel Del Coronado suggest support from manufacturing and hospitality interests, though these sectors fall outside his primary committee purviews. Independent‑expenditure activity is minimal, with only $1,380 in supporting ads and none opposing, indicating limited super‑PAC involvement in his race. No recorded votes on tracked bills are currently available, so a direct vote‑to‑donor alignment cannot be assessed at this time. Overall, the funding pattern shows a mix of ideological groups, sector‑specific corporate PACs linked to his committee work, and modest outside‑group spending.
