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

George Latimer, a Democrat representing New York's 16th House district, has been in office since 2025. This profile details his campaign finance landscape, separating direct organizational contributions ($340,563.30) from independent expenditures that supported him ($5,560,740.14) and those that opposed him ($1,144,974.15). The combined estimated financial support totals $5,901,303.44. He serves on the House Committee on Small Business and the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.

Top Organizational Funders (Current Cycle)

Among direct organizational contributors, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee Political Action Committee gave $5,000, reflecting a pro‑Israel advocacy sector; the Joint Action Committee for Political Affairs also contributed $5,000; Americans4Hindus PAC (Multi‑Candidate) provided $5,000, representing an Indian‑American interest group; the Transport Workers Union of America Political Contributions Committee contributed $5,000, a labor union; and the National Elevator Constructors PAC/International Union of Elevator Constructors gave $5,000, a manufacturing trade association. In the independent‑expenditure arena, the United Democracy Project spent $1,176,637 supporting Latimer and an additional $981,048.17 in a second tranche, while the Working Families Party PAC spent $206,535 opposing him.

Funding Pattern

Pattern observation: Latimer's assignment to the Foreign Affairs Committee aligns with sizable contributions from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee and Americans4Hindus PAC, both focused on international policy issues. His Small Business Committee role coincides with donations from the National Elevator Constructors PAC, a sector of small‑to‑mid‑size manufacturers, and the Transport Workers Union, which often engages on labor‑related small‑business matters. The predominant independent‑expenditure support comes from the United Democracy Project, a progressive‑leaning super PAC, indicating strong ideological backing. Conversely, the Working Families Party PAC’s opposition spending is modest relative to the support, suggesting limited intra‑party conflict. No tracked bill votes are currently recorded, so direct vote‑to‑donor alignment cannot be assessed at this time. Overall, the financing profile shows a blend of foreign‑policy, labor, and manufacturing interests alongside substantial progressive super‑PAC endorsement.
