Calculation Methodology

Contract values are summed from documented money flow chains where this entity appears as a source or destination node. Amounts are drawn from USASpending.gov, FEC filings, SEC EDGAR, or LD-2 lobbying registrations.

Donor contributions aggregate documented amounts from the donor_interests table, sourced from FEC individual and PAC contribution filings.

Connected officials are elected officials in our database with a mapped relationship (lobbying, board membership, campaign contribution, etc.) to this entity.

Annualised flow represents the total documented dollar amount traced through money flow hops involving this entity. Where hop-level amounts are unavailable, the chain-level documented total is used as a conservative upper bound.

All figures are drawn from public filings. Estimates are conservative — undisclosed transactions, dark money, and vanish-point hops are excluded from totals. This is a minimum documented floor, not a ceiling.

✓ verified Pending Review [constituency_baseline] District summary: California's 7th Congressional District encompasses southern Sacramento County, part of Yolo County, and a small portion of Solano County, serving approximately 764,052 constituents. It includes the city of Sacramento (the state capital), Elk Grove, West Sacramento, and Rancho Murieta. The district is rated D+34 by the Cook Partisan Voting Index — among the safest Democratic seats in the country. The median household income is $94,069, well above the national median of $37,585. It is a majority-minority district: 27.3% Hispanic, 23.4% Asian, and 10.1% Black. The homeownership rate is 59.2% (below the 65.5% national average), and median home value is $556,300. Only 1.5% of residents use public transit. The district has a median age of 37.3 years and 34.9% hold a bachelor's degree or higher. Key issues include immigration policy, education access, and rent burden. The Matsui family has held this seat for nearly 50 years (Robert Matsui 1979-2005, Doris Matsui 2005-present).
Added: 01 May 2026
✓ verified AI Inference Voted yea_unverified on H.R. 4367 (Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2024 (Motion to Recommit)) on 2023-09-28: Matsui voted to advance the DHS appropriations bill that funded Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations. This vote stands in stark contrast to her February 2026 declaration of 'Hell No' to ICE funding, as she campaigned against an opponent (Mai Vang) who advocates abolishing ICE. The reversal on ICE funding — from supporter to outspoken opponent — tracks with the escalating progressive primary challenge she faces.
Date: 2023-09-28 Added: 01 May 2026 ↗ SOURCE: Roll call: H.R. 4367
✓ verified AI Inference Voted yea_unverified on H.Res. 883 (Condemning the phrase 'from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free' as antisemitic) on 2024-04-16: Matsui joined 376 other members in voting for this resolution. While 43 progressive Democrats voted against it on free speech grounds, Matsui voted with AIPAC's position. Her district includes significant Palestinian, Muslim, and progressive communities who had been petitioning her to take a more balanced stance on the Israel-Gaza conflict. The vote illustrates the tension between her donor alignment with AIPAC and the demands of constituents who opposed the resolution.
Date: 2024-04-16 Added: 01 May 2026
✓ verified Primary Source Voted nay on H.R. 7217 (Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024) on 2024-02-06: Matsui voted against a standalone $17.6 billion Israel aid package that her top donor AIPAC strongly supported. The bill failed 250-180 (needed 2/3). Matsui issued a statement saying she opposed it because it lacked humanitarian aid for Gaza and Ukraine funding — not because she opposed Israel aid. This vote defected from her top donor (AIPAC, $11,322 in 2023-2024) while aligning with the Democratic majority (166 Dems voted nay, 46 voted yea). The cross-pressure: her donor wanted this bill; her stated policy rationale (comprehensive aid package) and party leadership opposed it.
Date: 2024-02-06 Added: 01 May 2026 ↗ SOURCE: Roll call: H.R. 7217
✓ verified Primary Source [platform] Matsui's campaign platform emphasizes her commitment to expanding healthcare access and lowering costs for Sacramento families. She has stated: 'I've been a champion for health care, reproductive rights, and ensuring that every American has access to quality, affordable health care.'
✓ verified Primary Source [statement] At her October 2025 town hall, Matsui was asked directly: 'Will you sign on to the Medicare for All bill, HR 3069, and if not, why not?' She responded: 'People who have health care now didn't have it before the Affordable Care Act, and now they're perhaps losing it again. What we want to do is to continue what we're doing. I love Medicare!' — without giving a yes or no answer.
✓ verified Primary Source [vote] According to congressional voting records cited by Migrant Insider, Matsui voted to fund ICE and the Department of Homeland Security at least five times during her tenure, including a September 28, 2023 vote 'Aye' on the motion to recommit H.R. 4367, the DHS appropriations bill for FY2024. Her 2026 primary challenger's mailer also cited her record of supporting increased ICE funding and accepting contributions from ICE contractors like Lockheed Martin.
✓ verified Primary Source [statement] On February 3, 2026, Matsui announced on social media: 'Today, I voted NO on DHS and ICE Funding. Their actions are intolerable. The fight is not over; we will win this together.' She later added: 'This reign of terror must end, and we must use our leverage to force real change.'
✓ verified Partially Corroborated Matsui was born in the Poston War Relocation Center (Japanese American internment camp) in Arizona in 1944. She served as Deputy Assistant to President Bill Clinton and as a lobbyist for the firm Collier Shannon Scott before entering Congress. Her late husband, Robert Matsui, held the Sacramento-area House seat for 26 years before his death in 2005.
✓ verified Partially Corroborated Matsui's 2026 primary challenger, Sacramento City Councilmember Mai Vang, released a campaign video highlighting Matsui's acceptance of donations from Lockheed Martin, Walmart, Home Depot, and PG&E — framing them as corporate interests acting against constituents. The FEC Q4 2025 filings had not yet been posted at the time of the video's release.
✓ verified Partially Corroborated In 2009, Matsui repaid $2,800 in back taxes on her $1.5 million Maryland home after Maryland officials said she erroneously claimed a homestead tax credit reserved for permanent Maryland residents. The House Ethics Committee examined the matter and closed the case.
✓ verified Primary Source In May 2024, Matsui's spouse executed a $1,000,000+ investment in Intrinsic Exchange Group, Inc. through a Simple Agreement for Future Equity (SAFE). The transaction was disclosed on June 4, 2024, pursuant to the STOCK Act.
✓ verified Partially Corroborated Matsui's top PAC contributors for 2023-2024 include DISH Network ($19,600), Granite Telecommunications ($13,200), American Israel Public Affairs Cmte ($11,322), PG&E Corp ($10,499), American Crystal Sugar ($10,000), and the American Federation of State/County/Municipal Employees ($10,000).
✓ verified Partially Corroborated Top industry contributors to Matsui's 2023-2024 campaign: Health Professionals ($120,562), Telecom Services ($94,950), Lawyers/Law Firms ($77,272), Pharmaceuticals/Health Products ($71,800), and Electric Utilities ($62,799). The Communications/Electronics sector led all sectors at $222,000.
✓ verified Partially Corroborated For the 2023-2024 election cycle, Rep. Doris Matsui's campaign committee raised $1,226,360. PAC contributions accounted for 70.40% ($871,251) of total fundraising — one of the highest PAC dependency rates in the House Democratic Caucus. Large individual contributions made up 27.31% ($338,018), while small individual contributions (under $200) constituted just 2.29% ($28,284).
