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

Doris Matsui, a Democrat representing California's 7th House district, has served in the U.S. House since 2005. This profile details her campaign finance profile, separating direct organizational contributions from independent expenditures, and reports a combined total of $567,286.69 for the current cycle. Matsui is a member of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce and serves as Ranking Member of its Subcommittee on Communications and Technology. The figures reflect contributions recorded through the Federal Election Commission.

Top Organizational Funders (Current Cycle)

The largest direct organizational contributors each gave $5,000, with the Democrats Win Fund topping the list. The NCTA – The Internet and Television Association Political Action Committee, a telecom trade group, contributed $5,000. New York Life Insurance Company Political Action Committee, representing the insurance sector, also gave $5,000. The Carpenters Legislative Improvement Committee of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners, a labor union, contributed $5,000. Nexstar Media Group, Inc. Political Action Committee, a broadcast media company, added another $5,000. Independent expenditures came exclusively from Courage California Super PAC, which spent a total of $286.69 in support of Matsui and recorded no spending against her.

Funding Pattern

Pattern observation: Matsui’s position on the Energy and Commerce Committee, particularly the Communications and Technology Subcommittee, aligns with contributions from several communications and technology donors. The NCTA PAC and Nexstar Media Group PAC represent sectors that fall under the committee’s jurisdiction over telecommunications and broadcasting policy. Similarly, T‑Mobile’s PAC and Amazon’s PAC, both of which contributed $5,000 each, are businesses directly affected by the committee’s work on broadband and e‑commerce regulations. Labor‑related support from the Laborers' International Union of North America (LIUNA) and the Carpenters union reflects the committee’s oversight of workplace safety and labor standards. No independent expenditures opposed Matsui, and the modest total of $286.69 in supporting super‑PAC spending suggests limited outside‑group activity in this cycle. No recent votes on tracked bills are recorded, so a direct comparison between voting behavior and donor interests cannot be made at this time. Overall, the funding profile shows a concentration of contributions from industries that are relevant to the policy areas overseen by her committee assignments.
