    36%Voting score, Israel & Gaza and speech & civil liberties only: the other areas have too few votes to count yet

    $144Kgiven directly by 52 people who also gave to AIPAC PAC or UDP
    $155Kstate donor network: an estimate, matched by name and ZIP, of what 56 people who also gave to AIPAC PAC or UDP gave to state campaigns
    13%of campaign money from small donors

    How the 36% is calculated: the equal-weight average of Israel & Gaza 40% (5 votes), Speech & civil liberties 31% (8 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.
