How can I do it?

Answer 1

$checkData= DB::table('member_opinions')
->where('user_id',$members->user_id)
->orWhere('member_name',$request->{'committees_name'})
->first();
Let me know did it works.
Update:
Try it out if you want and operation
$checkData= DB::table('member_opinions')
->where('user_id',$members->user_id)
->where('member_name',$request->{'committees_name'})
->first();

Answer 2

That's because of you try to provide object in where() function instead of string.
You have to extract your conditions from inner where() functions and provide them directly to outer where() functions like this:
$checkData = DB::table('member_opinions')
->where('user_id', $members->user_id)
->orWhere('member_name', $request->{'committees_name'})
->first();
After that, pay attention on what you want to get. As I can see, you want to use AND condition, but used orWhere() function, which will build your query with OR condition. So, you should use andWhere() instead:
$checkData = DB::table('member_opinions')
->where('user_id', $members->user_id)
->andWhere('member_name', $request->{'committees_name'})
->first();
And finally, let's make your code less dirty:
$userId = $members->user_id;
$commiteesName = $request->committees_name;
$checkData = DB::table('member_opinions')
->where('user_id', $userId)
->andWhere('member_name', $commiteesName)
->first();
UPD: #user3532758 is right, it is no method called andWhere() in Laravel, you should use where() instead:
$userId = $members->user_id;
$commiteesName = $request->committees_name;
$checkData = DB::table('member_opinions')
->where('user_id', $userId)
->where('member_name', $commiteesName)
->first();
