• Amerish BeraFEC filing: Amerish Bera · H0CA03078 ↗

  Sitting member of Congress · Ami Bera

  In the U.S. House (CA-6) since 2013 · current term ends Jan 3, 2027

  • Recorded yea or nay on 24 of the 24 key House floor votes captured in Hugin's snapshot
  • 2 committees: Foreign Affairs, Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence · 4 subcommittees
  • 197 committees reported contributions to them this cycle · 1 committee reported outside spending for or against them

  Linked to this filing by its exact FEC candidate ID (H0CA03078) in the congress-legislators roster of Oct 21, 2026. Votes are one key floor vote per bill on bills named in contractor lobbying reports (Oct 29, 2026); committee seats are the roster as of Oct 24, 2026; money counts are FEC reports for 2026 as of Oct 24, 2026. These are what Hugin's snapshots captured, not complete records, and none of them is a score or evidence of motive.
