    U.S. House · California – District 37

    Up in 2026 and 2028

    $95,851

    in backing from AIPAC, UDP & allied PACs

    $5,500 via AIPAC PAC ($500 in earmarked donations from AIPAC’s donors that it passed on, $5,000 from the PAC itself) + $90.4K from other PACs

    • Voting score 73% (17 votes, average of 3 areas)
    • +$98.2K donor network
    • Second score (immigration & Wall Street) 75%
    • Other pro-Israel PACs: DMFI PAC $90,351
    73%Voting score on Israel, war powers & civil liberties: the three areas averaged equally; 100% = the scored vote every time
    75%Second score: immigration & Wall Street
    $98.2Kgiven directly by 41 people who also gave to AIPAC PAC or UDP
    18%of campaign money from small donors

    How the 73% is calculated: the equal-weight average of Israel & Gaza 50% (6 votes), Speech & civil liberties 69% (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.
