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. Jimmy Gomez, a Democrat representing California’s 34th House district since 2017, serves on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the Ways and Means Committee, and is ranking member of the CIA subcommittee. This page details his $528,800 in direct contributions, $2.37 million in supporting independent expenditures, and a combined total of $2.90 million. All independent‑expenditure activity is supportive; none is recorded as opposing. The summary separates donor types and totals for transparency.

Top Organizational Funders (Current Cycle)

The largest direct contributor is the Santa Rosa Rancheria tribal entity with $6,600, followed by corporate and trade PACs each giving $5,000: VMware, Inc. PAC (technology), The Home Depot Inc. Political Action Committee (home‑improvement retail), the Council of Insurance Agents & Brokers Political Action Committee (insurance trade), and Jobs Education and Families First PAC (labor‑education). On the independent‑expenditure side, the United Democracy Project spent roughly $1.47 million supporting Gomez, and Protect Progress contributed $500,000, both in favor of his campaign. No outside groups recorded spending against him.

Funding Pattern

Gomez’s placement on the Ways and Means Committee aligns with donors from sectors that benefit from tax and trade policy, such as Home Depot’s retail interests and VMware’s technology services, a pattern worth noting without implying impropriety. The insurance‑agents PAC and labor‑linked unions also match the committee’s oversight of health‑care and payroll issues. His intelligence committee role does not correspond to any direct defense‑contractor contributions among the top donors listed. The substantial progressive‑leaning independent‑expenditure support from United Democracy Project and Protect Progress reflects his Democratic alignment. With zero opposing Super‑PAC spending, the external financial environment is uniformly supportive. No tracked votes are available to compare against donor interests at this time.
