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.

U.S. Representative AZ-03 (D), first-term, since Jan 2025. [2026-06 federal refinement] Full-progressive domestic record with ONE notable pro-Israel-hawk cross-party deviation. HARD evidence: original cosponsor H.R.15 Equality Act (119th, 4/29/2025); cosponsor Transgender Bill of Rights (Jayapal/Markey, 2/11/2026); cosponsor H.R.5361 George Floyd Justice in Policing Act (2025); cosponsor H.R.14 John R. Lewis VRA (2025); cosponsor American Dream and Promise Act; introduced ICE-accountability package + called for ICE abolition Jan 2026. Heritage Action lifetime 0%. Planned Parenthood Action Fund + EMILY's List + GIFFORDS PAC endorsed. CROSS-PARTY DEVIATION ZONE — Israel: VOTED YES on H.R.23 sanctioning the ICC (Jan 2025, joined GOP majority; minority of House Dems); DMFI PAC endorsed her 2024 primary; opposed Sanders' Nov 2024 resolution to block $20B arms sales to Israel; supports Abraham Accords expansion. ON LAKEN RILEY: voted NO (Jan 22 2025), the only AZ D to break with Gallego/Kelly/Hobbs — to the LEFT, not a conservative deviation. NOT a Squad member; member of Congressional Progressive Caucus, Asian Pacific American Caucus, Freethought Caucus. Phoenix Council record: backed civilian police oversight (Office of Accountability and Transparency) but did NOT push defund-police. 2026 race: faces Sandy Cano-Bravo in D primary; R primary: Kirt Burgess.
