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

Thomas Suozzi, a Democrat representing New York’s 3rd House district, has served in the U.S. House since 2017. This profile details his campaign financing, separating direct contributions from independent expenditures. Direct contributions to his race total $1,377,206.81, while supporting independent expenditures add $4,319,704.21, for a combined support figure of $5,696,911.02. Opposing independent expenditures total $7,508,951.13.

Top Organizational Funders (Current Cycle)

The largest direct donor is the EMPIRE STATE STRIKES BACK committee, which contributed $127,000, reflecting a New York‑focused political action group. Take Back NY‑3 gave $43,900, another state‑level grassroots organization. The Tom Suozzi Victory Fund contributed $43,500, representing the candidate’s own fundraising operation. NY for the House Majority added $38,751.98, a Democratic‑leaning committee supporting House majorities. Among independent‑expenditure groups, the Congressional Leadership Fund spent a combined $3,371,668.31 opposing Suozzi, indicating strong GOP opposition. Conversely, the FAIRSHAKE Super PAC spent $886,677 supporting his campaign, reflecting progressive advocacy backing.

Funding Pattern

Pattern observation: Suozzi serves on the Ways and Means Committee, which has jurisdiction over tax policy, trade, and Social Security—areas that often attract interest from both state‑level political groups and national partisan super PACs. The prominent contribution from EMPIRE STATE STRIKES BACK aligns with the committee’s influence over federal fiscal matters that affect New York’s economy. However, the top direct donors are largely campaign‑specific entities rather than sector‑based industry PACs, suggesting limited direct industry pressure. The substantial opposition spending by the Congressional Leadership Fund, a Republican super PAC, underscores the district’s competitive partisan environment. Support from FAIRSHAKE, a progressive organization, reflects alignment with Democratic policy goals that may dovetail with Ways and Means priorities such as expanded social programs. No recent recorded votes on tracked legislation are available to directly compare voting behavior with donor interests. Overall, financing patterns show a mix of local New York political groups, the candidate’s own fund, and pronounced national partisan super PAC activity, with no clear single industry dominance.
