    42%Voting score on Israel, war powers & civil liberties: the three areas averaged equally; 100% = the scored vote every time
    34%Second score: Trump nominees & Wall Street only
    $144Kgiven directly by 75 people who also gave to AIPAC PAC or UDP
    16%of campaign money from small donors

    How the 42% is calculated: the equal-weight average of Israel & Gaza 25% (12 votes), Speech & civil liberties 0% (2 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.
