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

Scott Peters, a Democrat representing California's 50th congressional district in the U.S. House since 2013. This profile details his campaign finance landscape, separating direct organizational contributions from independent expenditures by outside groups. He has received $1,221,344.53 in direct PAC and organizational donations and an additional $80,084.60 in supporting independent expenditures, for a combined total of $1,301,429.13. No independent expenditures opposing him are recorded.

Top Organizational Funders (Current Cycle)

The largest direct donor is the SHP Victory Fund, which contributed a series of five payments totaling about $305,000. Investment-oriented contributors follow, with OSAIC Institutions, Inc. giving roughly $48,800 and Infinex Investments Inc. about $25,100. A smaller but notable contribution came from UC Marketplace Owner LLC with $18,150, suggesting interests in real‑estate or marketplace operations. On the independent‑expenditure side, the Veterans Aid PAC spent roughly $11,569 supporting Peters, with no recorded spending opposing him. These groups are listed separately to distinguish direct donor money from outside spending.

Funding Pattern

Peters serves on the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, which has jurisdiction over sectors such as energy, telecommunications, and health care. None of his top direct contributors are clearly tied to the energy sector, with the biggest donors coming from political fundraising (SHP Victory Fund) and investment firms (OSAIC and Infinex). The presence of a real‑estate marketplace donor (UC Marketplace Owner LLC) likewise does not align directly with his committee’s primary jurisdiction. The supporting independent expenditures from Veterans Aid PAC, a veterans‑focused political group, align with his likely stance on veterans’ issues, but the amount is modest relative to his overall funding. No independent expenditures opposing him have been reported, indicating an absence of organized opposition spending in this cycle. Because there are no recorded votes on tracked bills, no direct vote‑donor alignment can be demonstrated at this time. Overall, his funding pattern shows a concentration of contributions from investment‑related PACs and a political fund, without an obvious link to Energy and Commerce committee interests.
