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

Sarah Elfreth's campaign is fueled by labor unions, which provided $71,000 of her $139,500 in PAC money (51%) in 2024. Unions like the International Longshoremen's Association, LIUNA, and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers each gave $5,000–$7,500. She also received support from EMILY's List and the League of Conservation Voters Action Fund.

Elfreth sponsored HR 4294, the MAWS Act of 2026. We don't yet have detailed vote records linking her positions to specific donor interests.

On her promises to constituents, the record is mixed. She broke one major commitment: raising the federal minimum wage to $15. She kept 7 of 14 tracked promises and had 6 partial follow-throughs—a 50% full-keep rate. The broken minimum-wage pledge stands out given her heavy support from organized labor, which typically backs wage increases.

We don't yet have information on how long she has served or her full legislative voting record tied to her funding sources.
