Bera's fundraising profile is moderately dependent on PACs and committees, which account for 57 percent of his $4.0 million in direct contributions, with the remaining 43 percent coming from individual donors. His industry-tied contributions show substantial concentration in health services (29 percent), followed by lawyers and lobbyists (13 percent) and pharmaceuticals and biotech (7 percent), with smaller shares from insurance and securities firms; this pattern aligns with the employment sectors of his individual donors, who similarly work in health services, legal services, and investment fields. He has no stock trade disclosures on file and maintains a voting record of 336 recorded votes.
