If you’ve watched a congressional primary in the last few years and wondered why an obscure super PAC with a patriotic name was flooding the airwaves with attack ads against a progressive Democrat, there’s a good chance you were watching AIPAC at work.
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee is the most powerful foreign-policy lobby in the United States. It is also, in recent cycles, one of the single largest sources of money in congressional elections—period.
In 2024, AIPAC and its super PAC spent a combined $126.9 million to shape who sits in Congress, and 318 AIPAC-backed candidates won their races. That’s not a typo, and it’s not a fringe claim. It’s pulled directly from Federal Election Commission filings.
After the genocide in Gaza, support for Israel (the government, not the people and not Jews in general) has dropped to an all-time low among Democrats, Independents, and Republicans. Americans all over the political spectrum have opened their eyes and are woke to AIPAC and the Israel lobby’s control over our politicians, including presidents.
People have caught onto the fact that Israel drags us into wars in the Middle East to fight on their behalf. In fact, we’re currently at war with Iran after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spent decades trying to get the U.S. President to do it. “Iran is 2 weeks away from having a nuclear weapon,” he said.
Every. Single.Time.
The Left has been indicating that they’re not going to vote for Democratic candidates who “approve” of the genocide in Gaza by staying silent, voting to send money/bombs to Israel, or even indirectly by accepting money from AIPAC.
This isn’t antisemitic, it’s about choosing candidates with morals, principles, and who treat others with respect and humanity.

Does your representative take AIPAC money?
Career totals for every Democrat and Independent in Congress — direct PAC donations plus independent expenditures from AIPAC and allied pro-Israel PACs, compiled from FEC filings. Search your Rep. Follow the money.

Where these numbers come from
What’s counted: federal career totals for each member — direct and earmarked donations from pro-Israel PACs (AIPAC, DMFI, Pro-Israel America, J Street, RJC and dozens more) plus independent expenditures those PACs made on the member’s behalf (ads, mailers, organizing). Data is compiled from Federal Election Commission filings by Track AIPAC, last refreshed July 5, 2026. Every card links to OpenSecrets.org so you can verify any member’s donor records yourself.
“Rejects AIPAC” marks members Track AIPAC has designated as refusing Israel-lobby money; “$0 on record” means no pro-Israel PAC money appears in their filings. Three seats last held by Democrats are currently vacant and not listed: CA-14 (Rep. Eric Swalwell resigned April 14, 2026 — special election Aug. 18), FL-20 (Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick resigned April 21, 2026), and GA-13 (Rep. David Scott passed away April 22, 2026).
