How we count

FEC filings through August 31, 2026; data updated October 20, 2026.

Each member's total is the sum of (1) contributions to their campaign from the tracked pro-Israel committees listed in Appendix A (earmarked contributions count for AIPAC PAC, NORPAC, DMFI PAC and Pro-Israel America PAC; JACPAC, U.S. Israel PAC and the regional PACs count direct contributions only), and (2) independent expenditures those committees reported supporting the member. Amounts come from each committee's own reports to the Federal Election Commission, using the latest amendment of each report, for the 2016 through 2026 election cycles. Money is assigned to an election cycle by each line's election code, not its transaction date.

The list of tracked committees is our judgment, based on each committee's stated mission and giving pattern. It is not an official FEC category. Committees we reviewed and left out are listed in Appendix B.

Voting scores are computed from the official roll calls listed in Appendix D, using the rules in Scoring rules.

Trips paid for by the American Israel Education Foundation (AIEF), AIPAC's charitable affiliate, as reported on members' own House gift-travel disclosures from 2017 onward. Each trip links to the filing. 2017–2019 filings come from House scans archived by the University of Maryland's Howard Center. Trips taken only by staff are not counted.

Senate trips: from 2022, every post-travel form Democratic senators filed for their own trips in the Senate's gift-travel database was read. For 2017–2021, which that database no longer keeps, about 2,200 archived copies of the official forms on the Internet Archive were read (marked secondary, like the House scans); the archive is thin for 2020–2021, so Senate trips in those two years may be missing.

Members whose seat was up in 2026 show everyone who was on their 2026 primary ballot, with votes and share, taken from the certified or official results of the state (or county) election office, which each profile links. In top-two primaries (California, Washington) every candidate on the ballot is listed, whatever their party; runoffs are shown as a second round. A candidate is listed only if they were on the ballot: people who filed with the FEC but never qualified are not. Shares are as the official results give them, or computed from their vote counts; states differ on whether blank ballots and write-ins count, so shares can differ slightly from news reports.

Below the primary, the profile names the member’s November 3 opponents (from state candidate lists) and the race rating: the average of up to seven nonpartisan forecasters, with their range (how it is computed). Primary challengers get a link to their campaign website and FEC filing at most, never a Donate or Volunteer button: their 2026 race is over, or is against the member shown. A tag shows any money the tracked PACs gave to or spent for or against a challenger, from the same FEC ledger as everything else.

Published for 207 members so far; 2 more appear once their official results exist and are checked (Louisiana’s House races are decided on November 3 and in December runoffs).

Known coding errors in FEC filings are corrected line by line. There are currently 15 such corrections, each with its reason:

• JACPAC (C00139659), January 12, 2026, $500, filed as +$500 in the filing; -$500 in the FEC's processed data, treated as the filed amount: JACPAC's February 2026 monthly report (filing 1949473) itemizes one direct contribution to Dan Goldman for New York on Jan 12, 2026: transaction SB23.67965, +$500, not a memo line. The FEC's processed data lists the same transaction as -$500. The report's summary page, both as filed and in the FEC's own processed summary, gives $500 of contributions to federal candidates (Line 23) for the month, and its disbursement and cash-on-hand totals add up only with +$500. SB23.67965 is the only such contribution in the report, so -$500 is a processing error and the line is counted as +$500. · line: filing 1949473, transaction SB23.67965 · evidence: JACPAC February 2026 monthly report, summary page (Line 23: $500) · evidence: FEC processed report summary for this filing (contributions to federal candidates: $500) · evidence: FEC processed Schedule B line (-$500).

• To Protect Our Heritage PAC (C00135541), July 19, 2024, $5,000, filed as a $5,000 contribution to committee C00670034 (Sharice Davids), whose recipient-name field says Emilia Sykes, treated as counted for the recipient the conduit PAC reported: To Protect Our Heritage PAC's report (filing 1846217) lists transaction SB23.10312, $5,000, July 19, 2024, 'Earmarked Campaign Contrib through American Israel Public Affairs PAC', with the recipient committee ID C00670034 (Sharice Davids's committee) and the recipient name field 'Sykes, Emilia'. Davids's committee reports no receipt from To Protect Our Heritage PAC in 2024. Emilia Strong Sykes's committee (C00801274, filing 1828272) reports one $5,000 earmarked receipt from To Protect Our Heritage PAC (transaction 6870948, July 16, 2024), and AIPAC PAC's report (filing 1811904, transaction BF2498A091B594A6F9AD, July 24, 2024) shows the same $5,000 'Earmark of To Protect Our Heritage PAC' to Sykes's committee. It is one gift to Sykes, keyed to the wrong committee ID in the PAC's report, so it is counted once, for Sykes. The payee field of the line reads "Gallagher, Michael John", a third name; Sykes's own receipt and AIPAC PAC's conduit line both show the money reached Sykes, so the payee field is a filing error (reviewed under the payee-name guard, ADR-0025). · line: filing 1846217, transaction SB23.10312 · evidence: To Protect Our Heritage PAC report, transaction SB23.10312 · evidence: Emilia Sykes for Congress report: the $5,000 earmarked receipt (transaction 6870948) · evidence: AIPAC PAC report: the conduit line to Sykes (transaction BF2498A091B594A6F9AD).

The FEC's bulk and API data keep only 'R', so the date alone put it in the 2020 cycle. Under the election-code rule it belongs to the 2022 cycle. · line: filing 1476958, transaction SB23.52463 · evidence: JACPAC report, transaction SB23.52463 (election code R2021).

Senator Burr's committee reports a $2,000 receipt from U.S. Israel PAC on October 20, 2015; Sherman's committee reports none from the PAC in that period.

The party's report shows the $5,000 received on September 25, 2024 with the note "Baldwin for Wisconsin allocation"; Baldwin's committee reports it only as a memo line (a transfer allocation), not a contribution received from JACPAC. Money to a party committee is not money to a candidate's own committee, so it is listed and not counted. · line: filing 1858209, transaction SB23.64423 · evidence: Democratic Party of Wisconsin federal account: receipts from JACPAC · evidence: Baldwin for Wisconsin: receipts from JACPAC (the $5,000 as a memo line) · evidence: JACPAC report, transaction SB23.64423.

The $52,250 line is Cruz's money with a wrong beneficiary field, so it is listed and not counted. · line: filing 1822784, transaction SB23.62921 · evidence: NORPAC report: line SB23.62921 and the earmarked receipts · evidence: Ted Cruz Victory Committee.
