    U.S. House · Colorado – District 1

    Lost 2026 primary to Melat Kiros

    $7,900

    in backing from AIPAC, UDP & allied PACs

    $3,400 via AIPAC PAC ($500 in earmarked donations from AIPAC’s donors that it passed on, $2,900 from the PAC itself) + $4,500 from other PACs

    • Voting score 79% (17 votes, average of 3 areas)
    • +$44.1K donor network
    • Second score (immigration & Wall Street) 100%
    • Other pro-Israel PACs: JACPAC $4,500
    79%Voting score on Israel, war powers & civil liberties: the three areas averaged equally; 100% = the scored vote every time
    100%Second score: immigration & Wall Street
    $44.1Kgiven directly by 25 people who also gave to AIPAC PAC or UDP
    3%of campaign money from small donors

    How the 79% is calculated: the equal-weight average of Israel & Gaza 57% (7 votes), Speech & civil liberties 81% (8 votes), War powers 100% (2 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.
