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

Daniel Webster is a Republican representative for Florida's 11th district, first elected in 2011. He serves on the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, Science, Space, and Technology, and Natural Resources, and chairs the subcommittee on Railroads, Pipelines, and Hazardous Materials. This page details his campaign finance profile, separating $479,402.77 in direct organizational contributions from $13,007.5 in supporting independent expenditures, for a combined estimated support of $492,410.27.

Top Organizational Funders (Current Cycle)

The largest direct contributor is the Scalise Leadership Fund 2024, which gave three separate contributions totaling $93,458.01 ($49,707.38, $26,931.24, and $16,819.39). Other notable $5,000 contributors include Union Pacific Corp. Fund for Effective Government (railroad sector), Space Exploration Technologies Corp. PAC (aerospace), CSX Corporation Good Government Fund (railroad), American Crystal Sugar Company PAC (agri‑food), and Amalgamated Transit Union – COPE (labor union). The most significant independent expenditure came from the National Association of Realtors Political Action Committee, which spent $12,047.50 in support of Webster, with an additional $960 in supporting ads, and no expenditures opposing him. These donors represent transportation, aerospace, agriculture, labor, and real‑estate sectors.

Funding Pattern

Pattern observation: Webster's top direct donors include major railroad companies—Union Pacific and CSX—which operate in the transportation sector directly overseen by the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. As chairman of the Subcommittee on Railroads, Pipelines, and Hazardous Materials, he has jurisdiction over issues that affect these rail carriers, creating a clear alignment between donor interests and his committee focus. The $5,000 contribution from Space Exploration Technologies Corp. PAC aligns with his role on the Science, Space, and Technology Committee, which handles aerospace policy and funding. The National Association of Realtors PAC's supporting independent expenditures reflect interest in housing and land‑use matters, which intersect with the Natural Resources Committee’s oversight of public lands and development. The Scalise Leadership Fund 2024 contributions appear to be political leadership support rather than industry‑specific, indicating broader partisan backing. No independent expenditures opposed Webster, and total Super PAC spending was modest at just over $12,000, suggesting limited outside campaign activity. No recent recorded votes on tracked bills are available, so direct vote alignment with donor interests cannot be evaluated at this time.
