Foreign-lobby money compromises America First. The U.S. has no formal mutual-defense treaty with Israel; AIPAC operates a super-PAC (United Democracy Project) that spent over $100M during the 2024 cycle on independent expenditures against U.S. candidates who criticize Israeli government policy. A candidate who has accepted that money has, in their own revealed preference, accepted a foreign-policy filter on their congressional vote. The same logic covers China-linked donations, where federal law also prohibits CCP members from contributing.
For every candidate with a documented donor record, two things happen: (1) the specific category question is marked False (foreign_policy_restraint[q4] for AIPAC + China; economic_stewardship[q5] — the WEF/ESG/Davos capture question — for Soros-network donors), so the per-category subscore drops by 2 points; (2) an additional dollar-bracket adjustment is applied to the total, making the penalty proportional to the magnitude of the funding. Both impacts are visible on this page.

- AIPAC / pro-Israel-lobby contributions-20TrackAIPAC career-total report shows $314,435 from AIPAC and pro-Israel-lobby PACs.AIPAC operates a super-PAC (United Democracy Project) that spent over $100M during the 2024 cycle on independent expenditures targeting U.S. candidates who criticize Israeli government policy. The U.S. has no formal mutual-defense treaty with Israel. RESOLUTE Citizen treats documented AIPAC contributions as a failure on foreign_policy_restraint/q4 (the foreign-lobby question) AND applies a dollar-bracket adjustment to the total score.

U.S. Representative AZ-04 (D), since Jan 2019. [2026-06 federal refinement] Center-left New Democrat with TWO defining cross-party deviations: (1) Laken Riley Act YES (Jan 7 2025), one of 48 D crossovers — chairs the New Democrat Coalition Immigration & Border Security Task Force, led bipartisan border trip with Rep. Ciscomani, blasted Senate Republicans for blocking the bipartisan border deal. Now being primaried from the LEFT (Kai Newkirk, AZ Dem Party Progressive Council co-chair) citing the Laken Riley vote.
