    $90,318

    in backing from AIPAC, UDP & allied PACs

    $86.8K via AIPAC PAC ($78.9K in earmarked donations from AIPAC’s donors that it passed on, $7,900 from the PAC itself) + $3,500 from other PACs

    • Voting score 63% (18 votes, average of 3 areas)
    • +$36K donor network
    • 1 AIPAC-funded trip to Israel
    • Second score (immigration & Wall Street) 62%

    63%Voting score on Israel, war powers & civil liberties: the three areas averaged equally; 100% = the scored vote every time
    62%Second score: immigration & Wall Street
    $36Kgiven directly by 21 people who also gave to AIPAC PAC or UDP
    1AIPAC-funded trip to Israel
    5%of campaign money from small donors

    How the 63% is calculated: the equal-weight average of Israel & Gaza 50% (7 votes), Speech & civil liberties 38% (8 votes), War powers 100% (3 votes). Higher means more often casting the scored vote: against military aid to Israel without new conditions and against ICC sanctions, for blocking arms sales, for requiring Congress to authorize war, and for civil liberties. Each area (Israel & Gaza, war powers, speech & civil liberties) counts equally, so the score is an average of areas, not the share of all listed votes.
