The vacant GA-13 seat is omitted. ## What is AIPAC? The **American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC)** is a pro-Israel lobbying organization — for decades one of the most influential lobbying forces in Washington, working to align U.S. policy with the Israeli government's positions. For most of its history it did _not_ fund candidates directly; its members gave through separate, unaffiliated PACs. That changed at the end of **2021**, when AIPAC launched its **first-ever political action committee** and an allied super PAC, the **United Democracy Project (UDP)**, ahead of the 2022 midterms. The move turned one of the country's biggest lobbies into one of its biggest direct spenders in congressional campaigns — almost overnight. AIPAC PAC → candidates, since 2022~$107M Federal campaigns funded500+ AIPAC + super PAC, 2024 alone$126.9M Since launching its PAC for the 2022 cycle, AIPAC's connected PAC has directed roughly **$107 million** to federal candidates across the 2022, 2024, and 2026 cycles, reaching more than **500 campaigns** — figures drawn directly from the committee's FEC filings. Counting its super PAC's independent spending, AIPAC's combined outlay reached **$126.9 million in the 2024 election alone**, when 318 AIPAC-backed candidates won. ## The Controversy AIPAC's critics — including some members of Congress — argue the group functions as an arm of a foreign government's agenda, and that its money gives the Israeli government outsized influence over U.S. foreign policy regardless of public opinion. Defenders counter that AIPAC is a lawful, transparent, bipartisan lobby exercising the same First Amendment rights as any other interest group. The sharpest fights have been in **Democratic primaries**. Through the United Democracy Project, AIPAC has spent heavily to defeat progressive candidates seen as insufficiently supportive of Israel — pouring nearly **$10 million to defeat Rep. Jamaal Bowman** and millions more against others in 2024, the most ever spent in House primaries by a single group. Critics note the ads rarely mention Israel, instead attacking targets on unrelated issues, which they call a way to obscure the donor's actual motive. Opponents formed a “Reject AIPAC” coalition in 2024 in response. The spending has drawn intensified scrutiny since the **Gaza war that began in October 2023**, as AIPAC-funded lawmakers have faced pressure over U.S. military aid and arms sales to Israel during the humanitarian crisis. (Both of Georgia's senators, Ossoff and Warnock, broke with the pro-Israel consensus on several 2024–25 arms-sale votes — and took $0 from AIPAC's PAC this cycle, as the scoreboard above shows.) ## Sources - [FEC — AIPAC PAC (C00797670) committee profile & filings](https://www.fec.gov/data/committee/C00797670/) - [OpenSecrets — United Democracy Project (super PAC) profile](https://www.opensecrets.org/political-action-committees-pacs/united-democracy-project/C00799031/summary/2024) - [Sludge — All the money AIPAC spent on the 2024 elections ($126.9M)](https://readsludge.com/2025/01/24/here-is-all-the-money-aipac-spent-on-the-2024-elections/) - [Common Dreams — AIPAC tops $100M on 2024 elections](https://www.commondreams.org/news/aipac-100-million) - [FactCheck.org — United Democracy Project explained](https://www.factcheck.org/2024/09/united-democracy-project-2/) - [Britannica — AIPAC: history, lobbying & influence](https://www.britannica.com/topic/American-Israel-Public-Affairs-Committee) [← All Legislators](https://thegafiles.com/legislators.html)
