    $37,666

    in backing from AIPAC, UDP & allied PACs

    $35.7K via AIPAC PAC ($30.7K in earmarked donations from AIPAC’s donors that it passed on, $5,000 from the PAC itself) + $2,000 from other PACs

    • Voting score 66% · Israel & Gaza and war powers only (7 votes, average of 2 areas)
    • +$87.3K donor network
    • 1 AIPAC-funded trip to Israel
    • Second score (immigration & Wall Street) 50%
    • Other pro-Israel PACs: DMFI PAC $2,000
    66%Voting score, Israel & Gaza and war powers only: the other areas have too few votes to count yet
    50%Second score: immigration & Wall Street
    $87.3Kgiven directly by 75 people who also gave to AIPAC PAC or UDP
    1AIPAC-funded trip to Israel
    7%of campaign money from small donors

    How the 66% is calculated: the equal-weight average of Israel & Gaza 33% (3 votes), War powers 100% (3 votes). Not counted: 1 Speech & civil liberties vote (an area needs at least 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.
