Who This Is
Rep. Paul David Tonko, a Democrat representing New York's 20th district, has served in the U.S. House since 2009. This profile breaks down $662,600 in direct organizational contributions, $682.4 in supporting independent expenditures, and a combined total of $663,282.4. It also outlines his committee assignments on Energy and Commerce and the Budget.
Top Organizational Funders (Current Cycle)
The largest direct contributors each gave $5,000: the American Institute of Architects PAC (architecture sector), the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Political Action Committee (electrical union), the Machinists Non‑Partisan Political League of the IAMAW (machinists union), NATSO Inc. NATSO PAC (public‑finance/treasury sector), and the Psychology PAC of the American Psychological Association (mental‑health services). Supporting independent expenditure groups include Environment America Action Fund, which spent $672.4 in favor of Tonko, and Sierra Club Independent Action, which contributed $10 supporting him. Direct contributions and Super PAC spending are reported separately.
Funding Pattern
Pattern observation: Tonko’s committee work on Energy and Commerce aligns with donors from the electrical and utility sectors, such as the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and, more broadly, utility‑related PACs in the full donor list. The presence of construction‑related contributors like the American Institute of Architects also corresponds to the committee’s jurisdiction over infrastructure projects. Independent expenditure activity is minimal, with only $682.4 in support and no spending against him, indicating limited outside‑group contestation. No opposing Super PAC spending was reported. Because no tracked bill votes are linked, the profile cannot tie specific legislative actions to donor interests. Overall, the funding mix shows modest organizational support across several professional sectors without any significant adversarial outside spending.
