Who This Is

Brian Mast has served as the U.S. Representative for Florida's 21st congressional district since 2017. He chairs the House Committee on Foreign Affairs and also serves on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. This page details his campaign financing, separating direct contributions from independent expenditures, and reports a combined total of $901,975.88. No recorded votes on tracked bills are currently linked to him.

Top Organizational Funders (Current Cycle)

Direct contributions are dominated by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) PAC, which gave $58,850, $55,900, $46,800, $42,000 and $34,400, together accounting for the bulk of the $848,044.59 received. The next largest direct donor is NorPAC, contributing $31,980. All these donors are political action committees representing pro‑Israel advocacy and business interests. Independent expenditure activity was modest, with the American Veterans Initiative PAC spending $2,020.74 and $1,636.23 in support of Mast, and the American Veterans Support Group PAC adding $1,291.26, for a total of roughly $5,000. No independent groups funded opposition.

Funding Pattern

The concentration of AIPAC PAC contributions aligns with Mast’s role as Chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee, which oversees U.S. policy toward Israel and the Middle East. While the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee does not directly intersect with the pro‑Israel agenda, the committee’s jurisdiction over overseas infrastructure projects could be of ancillary interest to donors focused on foreign policy. NorPAC’s support reflects a broader business‑friendly orientation, though no specific transportation‑related legislation has been highlighted in Mast’s record. Independent expenditures in favor of Mast were limited to veteran‑focused PACs, suggesting additional support from constituencies concerned with defense and veterans' issues. No super‑PACs spent money to oppose Mast, and overall independent spending was under $6,000, indicating minimal outside pressure. Because no votes on tracked bills are currently linked to Mast, there is no direct legislative evidence to assess alignment with donor interests. The funding pattern therefore shows a strong linkage between foreign‑policy donors and his committee leadership, without evident contradictions in his public voting record.
