    $71.9K via AIPAC PAC ($59K in earmarked donations from AIPAC’s donors that it passed on, $12.9K from the PAC itself) + $66 from other PACs

    • +$26.1K donor network

    • Second score (immigration & Wall Street) 100%

    79%Voting score on Israel, war powers & civil liberties: the three areas averaged equally; 100% = the scored vote every time
    100%Second score: immigration & Wall Street
    $26.1Kgiven directly by 19 people who also gave to AIPAC PAC or UDP
    1AIPAC-funded trip to Israel
    1%of campaign money from small donors

    How the 79% is calculated: the equal-weight average of Israel & Gaza 50% (6 votes), Speech & civil liberties 88% (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.
