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

Timothy Kennedy, a Democrat representing New York's 26th congressional district, began his first term in the House in 2024. This profile details the sources of his campaign financing, separating direct organizational contributions from independent‑expenditure support. He has received $651,937.93 in direct contributions and $68,984.68 in supporting independent expenditures, for a combined estimated total of $720,922.61. Kennedy also serves on the House Committee on Homeland Security and the Committee on Veterans' Affairs, ranking the Homeland Security Subcommittee on Emergency Management and Technology.

Top Organizational Funders (Current Cycle)

The largest direct contributor is the Kennedy Suozzi Victory Fund, which donated $20,000. The Kennedy Morelle Victory Fund provided $8,500, followed by a $7,000 contribution from the individual donor Cobey. Union and labor groups also appear, with the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees People contributing $5,000. Trade‑association donors include the American Resort Development Association Resort Owners Coalition PAC (ARDA‑ROC PAC) and the AbbVie Political Action Committee, each giving $5,000, representing the resort‑development and pharmaceutical sectors respectively. Independent‑expenditure support came exclusively from Protect Progress, which spent a total of $68,984.68 on Kennedy’s behalf. No independent expenditures were recorded opposing his campaign.

Funding Pattern

Pattern observation: Kennedy’s top donors span a range of sectors—including a local political fund, a private individual, a labor union, a resort‑development trade group and a pharmaceutical PAC—without a single dominant industry. His chairmanship of the Homeland Security Subcommittee on Emergency Management and Technology does not directly intersect with the primary interests of the resort‑development or pharmaceutical donors. The contribution from the public‑employee union aligns loosely with his role on the Veterans' Affairs Committee, which oversees benefits that affect many municipal workers. There are no disclosed contributions from defense contractors or cybersecurity firms that would have a clear jurisdictional link to the Homeland Security committee. Independent‑expenditure activity is limited to support from one Super PAC, Protect Progress, and there were no opposing outside spenders. No recent votes on tracked legislation are available, so a direct vote‑based alignment with donor interests cannot be assessed at this time. Overall, the funding pattern reflects a modest mix of local political, labor, and industry support, consistent with a freshman representative’s fundraising profile.
