    $4,198,736

    in backing from AIPAC, UDP & allied PACs

    $6,898 via AIPAC PAC ($1,898 in earmarked donations from AIPAC’s donors that it passed on, $5,000 from the PAC itself) + $4.18M UDP ads (never given to the campaign) + $12.1K from other PACs

    • Voting score 75% · Israel & Gaza and war powers only (7 votes, average of 2 areas)
    • +$706K donor network
    • Second score (immigration & Wall Street) 100%
    • Other pro-Israel PACs: Mid Manhattan PAC $5,000 · DMFI PAC $3,125 · Citizens Organized PAC $3,000 · Grand Canyon State Caucus $1,000
    75%Voting score, Israel & Gaza and war powers only: the other areas have too few votes to count yet
    100%Second score: immigration & Wall Street
    $706Kgiven directly by 527 people who also gave to AIPAC PAC or UDP
    6%of campaign money from small donors

    How the 75% is calculated: the equal-weight average of Israel & Gaza 50% (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.
