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

Michael Mccaul has served as the U.S. Representative for Texas’s 10th congressional district since 2005. He sits on the House Committee on Homeland Security, where he is Vice Chair, and the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. This page details his $449,874.37 in direct organizational contributions, $23,061.46 in supporting independent expenditures, and the combined $472,935.83 total support. All figures reflect the current two‑year election cycle.

Top Organizational Funders (Current Cycle)

The largest direct donors are the American Israel Public Affairs Committee Political Action Committee (Earmark), which gave $37,200, $34,800, $29,000, $21,300 and $19,200, reflecting its focus on U.S.–Israel foreign‑policy issues. Democracy Engine LLC contributed $14,000. In the independent‑expenditure arena, the National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund spent $1,375.46 supporting Mccaul, and the Firefighters Coalition of America PAC contributed $1,136.43 in support. The NRA represents the firearms sector, while the Firefighters Coalition advocates for public‑safety professionals.

Funding Pattern

Pattern observation: Mccaul’s top donor, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee PAC, aligns with his role on the Foreign Affairs Committee, which oversees U.S. policy toward Israel and the Middle East. The supporting super‑PAC contributions from the NRA and Firefighters Coalition of America are consistent with his Vice Chair position on the Homeland Security Committee, which deals with law‑enforcement and emergency‑services matters. No independent expenditures opposed him were reported, indicating a lack of organized opposition spending in this cycle. The concentration of contributions from a single pro‑Israel PAC suggests a focused interest group rather than a broad industry base. Because no tracked votes are currently linked to his record, the profile cannot correlate specific legislative actions with donor interests. Overall, the funding picture shows modest total support, with a clear emphasis on foreign‑policy and public‑safety constituencies.
