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. Scott Franklin, a Republican representing Florida's 18th District, has served in the U.S. House since 2021. This profile lists his campaign finance activity for the current two‑year cycle, showing $530,089.63 in direct contributions and no independent expenditures, for a combined total of $530,089.63. It also outlines his committee assignments on Science, Space, and Technology and Appropriations, including his leadership positions. The data are drawn from official FEC and Congress.gov filings.

Top Organizational Funders (Current Cycle)

The largest direct contributors are the Scott Franklin Wingman Fund with two donations of $28,000 and $20,000, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee Political Action Committee contributing $10,500, and the Franklin Victory Fund providing $8,081.25 and $6,285.64. Additional $5,000 contributions come from industry groups such as the American Crystal Sugar Company PAC, United States Sugar Corporation Employee Stock Ownership Plan PACs, Space Exploration Technologies Corp. PAC, General Atomics PAC, and Applied Research Associates, Inc. PAC, reflecting sugar, aerospace, and defense sectors. No Super PACs or outside groups filed independent expenditures for or against the candidate in this cycle.

Funding Pattern

The funding pattern shows strong support from Franklin's own political committees, indicating a base of self‑generated financing. Contributions from sugar industry PACs align with his vice‑chair role on the Appropriations Subcommittee overseeing Agriculture, Rural Development, and the FDA, which oversees food‑related matters. Donations from SpaceX, General Atomics, and Applied Research Associates correspond to his chairmanship of the Science, Space, and Technology Subcommittee on Environment, suggesting a link to the space and defense sectors within his legislative purview. The AIPAC donation reflects typical foreign‑policy interest group support for a Republican member. No independent expenditures were recorded, confirming a lack of outside spending activity. No tracked bill votes are currently linked to his record, so no vote‑based alignment analysis can be provided.
