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

Ritchie John Torres is the Democratic representative for New York's 15th House district, serving since 2021. This profile details his campaign financing, separating direct contributions from independent expenditures, and notes his committee assignments. Direct contributions total $1,807,056.26, while supporting independent expenditures add $400,365.90, bringing the combined estimated support to $2,207,422.16. No independent expenditures opposed him during this cycle.

Top Organizational Funders (Current Cycle)

The largest direct contributors are Wells Fargo Bank with approximately $375,960.65, reflecting its banking sector interests; Janney Montgomery Scott contributed about $341,699.06, a law‑firm PAC; the Democratic Future Leadership Fund gave $109,888.33, a progressive political organization; and the Majority Fund provided $105,300, a Democratic‑aligned group. Supporting independent expenditures were led by Protect Progress, which spent $100,000 in favor of Torres, and Equality Project PAC, which contributed $65,271.17 supporting him. All noted outside groups were supportive, with no recorded opposition spending.

Funding Pattern

Pattern observation: Torres serves on the House Committee on Financial Services, a jurisdiction that oversees banking regulation, aligning with the substantial contributions from Wells Fargo Bank. The significant support from Janney Montgomery Scott, a law‑firm PAC, also coincides with the legal and regulatory focus of his committee work. The Democratic Future Leadership Fund and Majority Fund contributions reflect broader party‑aligned progressive interests rather than a specific industry link. Independent expenditure activity was exclusively supportive, with no opposing Super PAC spending recorded. No votes on tracked bills are currently linked, so alignment with donor interests cannot be assessed through voting behavior at this time. The absence of opposing independent expenditures suggests a relatively uncontested financial backing environment for Torres during this cycle.
