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. Joseph D. Morelle, a Democrat representing New York’s 25th district, has served in the House since 2018. This profile details his direct campaign contributions, the absence of independent‑expenditure spending, and his total estimated support of $766,782.59. It also outlines his committee assignments, including his role as Ranking Member of the House Administration Committee and membership on the Appropriations Committee. The page separates direct donor money from any outside‑group spending, which in this cycle is zero.

Top Organizational Funders (Current Cycle)

The top direct contributors are the Kennedy Morelle Victory Fund with $8,500, the consulting firm SKDKNICKERBOCKER with $6,323.50, and several $5,000 donors: United Steelworkers Political Action Fund (a labor union), UA Union Plumbers & Pipefitters Vote! PAC (trade union), and the American Investment Council Political Action Committee (investment‑industry trade group). Additional $5,000 contributors include the National Association of Realtors PAC (real‑estate sector), KPMG Partners/Principals and Employees PAC (accounting and consulting), Employees of Northrop Grumman Corporation PAC (defense industry), and the American Medical Association PAC (health‑care). No Super‑PACs or other independent‑expenditure groups reported spending for or against Morelle this cycle.

Funding Pattern

Pattern observation: Morelle’s donor base includes a mix of labor unions, industry trade groups, and a defense‑contractor PAC, reflecting broad sector support. His seat on the House Appropriations Committee gives him influence over discretionary spending, which could intersect with interests of donors such as Northrop Grumman and the United Steelworkers. As Ranking Member of the House Administration Committee, his duties focus on internal House operations rather than sector‑specific policy, offering limited direct alignment with donor industries. The presence of investment and real‑estate PACs suggests financial‑services interest in his legislative work. No independent‑expenditure activity was recorded, indicating the campaign relied solely on direct contributions. No tracked votes are available to assess alignment with any specific donor’s policy preferences.
