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. Mike Levin, a Democrat representing California's 49th congressional district, has served in the U.S. House since 2019. This page reports his direct campaign contributions, independent‑expenditure activity, and the combined total of financial support. Levin received $897,625.11 in direct contributions and $279,278.86 in supporting independent expenditures, giving a total support figure of $1,176,903.97. Opposing independent expenditures amounted to $177,822.38.

Top Organizational Funders (Current Cycle)

The largest direct donor is Yosemite Consulting, LLC with $80,000, a consulting firm likely linked to professional services. The second‑largest is Keep the 49th Climate Action Fund at $35,000, reflecting a climate‑environment focus. Levin Victory Fund 2024 contributed $33,000, a campaign‑specific fund, followed by Milner Butcher Media Group, LLC with $24,275.11, indicating media‑industry support, and Democracy Summer 2024 with $20,000, a progressive activist group. Among outside groups, the California Comeback Fund spent $115,000 opposing Levin, while the LCV Victory Fund spent $60,444.87 supporting him; both are issue‑based political action committees.

Funding Pattern

Levin serves on the House Appropriations Committee, which oversees federal spending across all departments, a jurisdiction that aligns with the interests of donors focused on climate projects and media funding. The sizable contribution from Keep the 49th Climate Action Fund suggests a potential interest in directing appropriations toward environmental programs in his district. The opposition spending by the California Comeback Fund, a group that typically backs more conservative candidates, indicates organized resistance despite Levin's Democratic affiliation. No tracked votes are currently linked to specific bills, so direct vote‑to‑donor alignment cannot be demonstrated. The presence of both supporting and opposing independent expenditures shows a contested fundraising environment, but the overall net support remains positive. No single industry appears to dominate the direct contributions, reflecting a diversified donor base rather than a concentrated sector influence.
