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

Adriano Espailat, a Democrat representing New York's 13th congressional district since 2017, serves on the House Committee on Appropriations and is the ranking member of its Subcommittee on the Legislative Branch. This profile details his campaign finance picture, separating direct contributions from independent expenditures, and provides the combined total of $392,219.75. Direct contributions amount to $362,875, while supporting independent expenditures total $29,344.75 and none oppose him.

Top Organizational Funders (Current Cycle)

The largest direct contributor is the New Yorkers Fighting Back Victory Fund with $14,875, followed by the NEA Fund for Children and Public Education, the National Association of Realtors Political Action Committee, the Machinists Non-Partisan Political League of the International Association of Machinists, and CHC Bold PAC, each contributing $5,000. These donors represent education, real estate, labor and construction, and political activism sectors respectively. Supporting independent expenditures come mainly from WE ACT 4 CHANGE, which spent $29,334.75 in favor of Espailat, and a $10 contribution from Sierra Club Independent Action, also supporting him.

Funding Pattern

Pattern observation: Espailat’s top donors include education unions (NEA, SEIU), a real estate trade group, and a machinists labor organization, all of which benefit from federal budgeting decisions overseen by the Appropriations Committee. As ranking member of the Subcommittee on the Legislative Branch, he helps shape funding for the judiciary and related agencies, aligning with interests of groups that seek federal support for education and labor programs. The modest level of independent expenditure activity—just under $30,000 supporting and none opposing—indicates limited outside-group spending in this cycle. No opposing Super PAC spending was recorded. No recent tracked votes are linked, so direct alignment between votes and donor interests cannot be assessed. Overall, the funding mix reflects typical Democratic-leaning education and labor support without evident industry-specific earmark influence.
