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

Adam C. Gray, a Democrat representing California's 13th House district, has served in Congress since 2025. This profile details his direct organizational and PAC contributions of $1,011,767.27, the independent expenditures that supported him ($2,003,191.17) and opposed him ($8,663,851.92), and the combined support total of $3,014,958.44. Gray serves on the House Committee on Natural Resources and the House Committee on Agriculture. The data reflect the 2024‑2026 election cycle.

Top Organizational Funders (Current Cycle)

The three largest direct contributors are EVOLVE MEDIA ($44,849), likely a media‑focused organization; the GRAY WHITESIDES VICTORY FUND ($40,000), a political fundraising entity tied to Gray's campaign; and the JEFFRIES BATTLEGROUND PROTECTION FUND ($30,980), which appears to represent security‑related interests. Additional notable donors include FRONTLINE PROTECTION FUND ($26,000) and GMMB INC. ($22,936.24), a communications firm that works with health and environmental clients. Among independent expenditure groups, the CONGRESSIONAL LEADERSHIP FUND spent $1,228,199.60 opposing Gray, followed by the NRCC with $663,771 opposing him. No named Super PACs are recorded as supporting Gray despite the $2 million in supporting independent expenditures.

Funding Pattern

Pattern observation: Gray’s committee assignments on Natural Resources and Agriculture do not directly align with the top direct donors, whose names suggest media, political victory funds, and protection or communications sectors rather than agricultural or natural‑resource interests. The strongest independent expenditure opposition comes from the Republican‑aligned CONGRESSIONAL LEADERSHIP FUND and the NRCC, indicating a highly partisan challenge rather than industry‑specific pressure. No independent groups are listed as supporting Gray, even though $2 million in supportive spending is reported, suggesting that the supporting activity may be spread across smaller, unnamed entities. The absence of recorded votes on tracked bills prevents direct correlation between voting behavior and donor interests. Overall, the funding landscape shows substantial partisan opposition but limited clear financial ties to the policy domains of Gray’s committee work.
