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

Representative NYDIA M. Velazquez, a Democrat from New York’s 7th district, has served in the U.S. House since 1993. She is Ranking Member of the House Committee on Small Business and also serves on the Committee on Financial Services. This profile details her campaign financing, separating direct contributions from independent expenditures, and shows a combined total of $276,242.99 for the current cycle.

Top Organizational Funders (Current Cycle)

The largest direct contributors are the Broker Action Coalition PAC for the Association of Independent Mortgage Experts ($5,000), the UA Union Plumbers & Pipefitters Vote! PAC ($5,000), and the Small Business Investor Alliance PAC ($5,000). Other notable donors include Medicare for All ($5,000) and the American Dental Association Political Action Committee ($5,000), representing healthcare advocacy and dental professionals respectively. All listed contributions are direct donations; the only independent expenditure identified is a $10 supporting spend by Sierra Club Independent Action, an environmental group. The Sierra Club’s modest $10 support is the sole independent expenditure recorded.

Funding Pattern

Pattern observation: Velazquez’s role as Ranking Member of the Small Business Committee aligns with contributions from the Small Business Investor Alliance PAC, a trade group that advocates for policies favorable to small‑enterprise owners. Her membership on the Financial Services Committee also coincides with a $5,000 donation from the Broker Action Coalition PAC, which represents mortgage professionals, suggesting a potential interest in financial‑sector legislation. Contributions from labor unions such as the UA Union Plumbers & Pipefitters Vote! PAC and LIUNA PAC indicate support from organized labor, though no recent votes on tracked bills are linked to these donors. The environmental Sierra Club’s $10 supporting independent expenditure is minimal and does not signal significant outside influence. No independent expenditures opposed her, and overall independent spending is negligible. Because no tracked votes are recorded for this cycle, we cannot directly correlate voting behavior with donor interests, but the funding sources are consistent with the policy areas overseen by her committee assignments.
