Who This Is
Rep. Sara Jacobs, a Democrat from California's 51st district, has served in the U.S. House since 2021. She sits on the House Committee on Foreign Affairs and the House Committee on Armed Services. This profile details the $306,975.42 received from organizational and PAC donors, the $340.55 in supporting independent expenditures, and the combined $307,315.97 total supporting her campaign.
Top Organizational Funders (Current Cycle)
The three largest direct contributors each gave $5,000: the Jobs, Education & Families First Jeff PAC, the Communications Workers of America (CWA) union, and the Carpenters' Legislative Improvement Committee representing the carpentry trade. Other notable donors include the Southern California Pipe Trades District Council (construction trades) and the National Association of Letter Carriers Political Fund (postal workers), each also contributing $5,000. In the independent‑expenditure arena, the Courage California Super PAC spent about $216.59 supporting Jacobs, while the Planned Parenthood Action Fund of the Pacific Southwest PAC contributed roughly $34.46 in support. All independent expenditures were supportive; none were directed against her.
Funding Pattern
Committee alignment: Jacobs serves on the Armed Services and Foreign Affairs committees, yet none of her top donors are defense contractors or foreign‑policy firms, indicating no direct industry overlap. The largest direct donors are labor‑related unions and trade groups, reflecting a typical Democratic labor‑union support pattern rather than a sector tied to her committee work. Independent‑expenditure activity is minimal, with only $340.55 in total support and no opposing spending, suggesting limited outside super‑PAC involvement. The absence of any recorded votes on tracked bills prevents analysis of voting alignment with donor interests. Overall, the funding profile shows a modest mix of labor union contributions and low‑level super‑PAC backing without obvious committee‑related industry influence.
