How Much Influence Does Israel Have Over U.S. Elected Officials?

Bernie Sanders’ 2020 national campaign director Analilia Mejia beat AIPAC-backed candidate Tom Malinowski in NJ’s recent special election

As mid-term season ramps up, important primary races are underway in Texas and Illinois. The midterm elections will potentially reshape the U.S. Congress, making it critical to understand how important the outcomes are for Israel and its powerful slate of U.S. lobbying groups.

“We expect to be involved in dozens of races both in primaries and general elections this cycle,” said Patrick Dorton, a spokesman for AIPAC’s affiliated super PAC, the United Democracy Project (UDP).

According to Track AIPAC, there are currently only 21 members of U.S. Congress who have never accepted money from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC, the largest pro-Israel PAC in the US) or other pro-Israel lobby groups. The remaining 514 sitting members have all accepted varying amounts of fundraising money from pro-Israel lobbyists.

With the Illinois primary just two days away, AIPAC has spent more than $1.9 million on ads to replace retiring Rep. Danny Davis with Melissa Conyears-Ervin, the city treasurer of Chicago. She faces over a dozen other candidates in the upcoming primary. And IL Sen. Dick Durbin is retiring after more than 30 years in office, with three top Democratic candidates vying for his seat.

Durbin received more than $2.7 million in pro-Israel donations over his decades in office. Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, who accepted more than $1.7 million in pro-Israel donations, is vying for his seat along with Rep. Robin Kelly, the recipient of just over $368,000 from Israeli lobbies and Lt. Governor Juliana Stratton, who has received just over $248,000.

U.S. Democratic Reps. Jan Schakowsky and Jesus “Chuy” Garcia are also retiring. Schakowsky has received more than $2.5 billion from Israeli lobbyists while Garcia hasn’t received any and rejects AIPAC. Dozens of Democrats are vying for those seats, with AIPAC playing an increasingly bigger role in candidates’ platforms.

Schakowsky, once a staunch supporter of Israel, has increasingly become critical of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the war in Gaza and recently withdrew her support of Cook County Commissioner Donna Miller to succeed her. Miller has pulled in more than $3.3 million in AIPAC-related donations. “Illinois deserves leaders who put voters first, not AIPAC or out-of-state Trump donors,” said Schakowsky. She endorsed Evanston Mayor Daniel Bliss instead, who has received just over $288,000 in pro-Israel funding.

The Texas Senate primaries have yielded tight races for Democrats and Republicans alike, with AIPAC once again playing a key role. James Talarico, who received just over $23,000 from pro-Israel interests, will face an as yet to be determined Republican challenger. Incumbent Sen. John Cornyn, who has accepted more than $2 million from AIPAC and other Israeli interests, is being challenged by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who received just over $53,000 from Israeli lobbyists.

The Republican primary was so close that the two candidates will face a runoff on May 26. Paxton’s success puts President Donald Trump in a sticky position. Trump himself has received more than $230 million from Israeli groups and it was expected he would endorse Israel’s candidate, Cornyn. But Paxton has gained traction within the MAGA movement, and Trump risks alienating his voters by endorsing Cornyn. Talarico’s popularity has been rising with some predicting he may turn one of Texas’s Senate seats blue for the first time in 33 years.

AIPAC and its offshoots began to ramp up spending during the 2022 midterms, shelling out more than $221 million between December of 2021 and January of 2026.

Their strategy has not always paid off though, as was the case in the recent Democratic primary special election in New Jersey. Israeli lobbyists spent more than $378,000 pushing former Rep. Tom Malinowski for a House seat. He was defeated by progressive candidate Analilia Mejia, who has been openly critical of Israel.

  1. Worth recommending broadly to anyone who reads on the topic, and a look at solidrunway only confirms that, the rare combination of accessibility and depth in this site makes it suitable for both newcomers and people who already know the area which is hard to pull off in any blog format today and rarely managed.

  2. If I had to defend the time I spend reading independent blogs this site would feature in the defence, and a look at appcreek reinforced that defensive utility, the ongoing case for non algorithmic reading is one I make to myself periodically and sites like this one provide the actual evidence that supports the case clearly.

  3. Now feeling confident that this site will continue producing work I will want to read, and a look at lahorelabel extended that confidence into the future, projecting forward from current quality to expected future quality is something I do for sites I genuinely follow and this one has earned that forward looking trust clearly today.

  4. My professional context would benefit from having this kind of resource available, and a look at tracerunway extended the professional applicability, the rare site that contributes meaningfully to professional work rather than just personal interest is content with multiplied value and this one is providing that professional utility consistently across multiple pieces.

  5. Now adding this to a short list of sites I would defend in a conversation about the modern web, and a look at thrivenet reinforced that defence list, the few sites that serve as evidence the web can still produce good things are precious and this one has clearly joined that small list of exemplary sites.

  6. Перед проведением процедур нарколог собирает анамнез и проводит первичный осмотр. Врач узнает, сколько дней продолжается запой, какой алкоголь пил больной, имеются ли хронические заболевания, аллергические реакции и опыт кодирования. При необходимости назначается анализ крови, экспресс-тест, ЭКГ и иная диагностика. Полученные данные позволяют подобрать эффективный и максимально безопасный способ детокса.

  7. При многодневном запое продукты распада алкоголя создают нагрузку на печень, сердце, мозг, нервную систему и другие внутренние органы. У пациента нарушаются сон, питание, водно-солевой баланс, появляются тревога, тошнота, головная боль, слабость и признаки абстинентного синдрома. Вывод из запоя помогает стабилизировать физическое самочувствие, но лечение алкоголизма не заканчивается одной процедурой. Полноценное лечение зависимости предусматривает детоксикацию, работу с врачом, психотерапию, мотивацию и реабилитацию.

  12. Выездная или стационарная помощь особенно актуальна, когда состояние зависимого быстро ухудшается, а самостоятельно приехать в медицинский центр тяжело. При обращении по телефону специалист уточняет симптомы и помогает выбрать дальнейшие действия. В некоторых случаях возможен вызов нарколога на дом, однако при признаках тяжелого отравления, нарушениях сознания или других острых расстройствах может потребоваться скорая помощь и госпитализация.

  13. Liked that the post left some questions open rather than pretending to settle everything, and a stop at devsmith continued that intellectual honesty, content that respects the limits of its own claims is more trustworthy than content that overreaches and this site has clearly figured out which positions it can defend confidently.

  14. Vague feelings of recognition kept surfacing as I read because the writing names things I have been thinking, and a look at appfortune produced more of those recognition moments, content that gives shape to private intuitions is content that makes me feel less alone in my own thinking and this site has that effect.

  15. Наркологическая помощь в Красноярске может быть доступна круглосуточно, включая выходные и дни праздников. Выездной нарколог приезжает по указанному адресу, выполняет осмотр пациента, измеряет основные показатели, оценивает психическое и физическое состояние. При наличии показаний проводится детоксикация, инфузионная терапия и медикаментозное лечение. Капельница при запое помогает обеспечить введение растворов и назначенных лекарственных средств внутривенно под наблюдением медика. Состав капельницы подбирается индивидуально, поэтому использовать одинаковую схему для каждого больного неправильно.

  16. Выездная капельница на дому позволяет начать вывод из запоя в привычной обстановке без самостоятельного посещения медцентра. Врач приезжает по указанному адресу, проводит диагностику, измеряет уровень артериального давления, пульс, оценивает сердечный ритм, сознание, степень обезвоживания и выраженность интоксикации продуктами распада этанола. При отсутствии противопоказаний выполняется внутривенное введение растворов и препаратов, направленных на очищение крови, восстановление водно-электролитного баланса и облегчение неприятных ощущений.

  17. Обратиться за помощью можно в тот момент, когда проблема только начала формироваться, или после многолетнего алкоголизма. Хотя родственникам нередко хотелось бы решить дело одним уколом или капельницей, устойчивый результат обычно требует последовательной работы. Медицинское лечение помогает безопасно пройти начальный этап, психотерапевтическую поддержку используют для работы с причинами зависимости, а реабилитация направлена на возвращение к трезвой жизни, семье, работе и привычным обязанностям. Если человек не способен самостоятельно остановиться и продолжает пить, специалист объяснит родным, какие способы помощи доступны и когда действительно необходима госпитализация.
