    U.S. House · Illinois – District 2

    Lost 2026 Senate primary; leaving the House

    $17,009

    in backing from AIPAC, UDP & allied PACs

    $7,009 via AIPAC PAC ($7,009 in earmarked donations from AIPAC’s donors that it passed on, $0 from the PAC itself) + $10K from other PACs

    • Voting score 71% (18 votes, average of 3 areas)
    • +$49.9K donor network
    • Second score (immigration & Wall Street) 88%
    • Other pro-Israel PACs: JACPAC $10,000
    71%Voting score on Israel, war powers & civil liberties: the three areas averaged equally; 100% = the scored vote every time
    88%Second score: immigration & Wall Street
    $49.9Kgiven directly by 17 people who also gave to AIPAC PAC or UDP
    6%of campaign money from small donors

    How the 71% is calculated: the equal-weight average of Israel & Gaza 57% (7 votes), Speech & civil liberties 56% (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.
