The receipt · Jr.’s tenureWho funds them · what they voted · broken promises

Labor unions dominate the funding picture for Rep. Olszewski, supplying $105,500 of $175,000 (60%) in PAC money during 2024. Top contributors include the International Association of Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers, Machinists, Plumbers & Pipefitters, and Laborers' International Union, each giving $10,000. Realtors, AIPAC, and Automobile Dealers also backed him.

On his record of promises tracked so far, Olszewski kept 7 and broke 1 of 14 scored. His broken promise: to raise the federal minimum wage to $15—a direct labor issue despite his heavy union funding. Six additional promises remain partial or incomplete.

We don't yet have House floor vote data linking his votes to specific labor bills or his donor priorities, so we cannot show whether his union support correlates with labor-friendly votes on the floor.

Narrated from FEC + Congress.gov receipts. Every figure traces to our data.
