Score adjustments

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.

[2026-06 RESOLUTE refinement, federal tier] Uniformly progressive HARD roll-call record with one partial deviation: Aye on FIT21 crypto market-structure bill (one of 71 Democrats) while still voting against the CBDC ban. Gun-owner/hunter identity (Sportsmen's Caucus co-chair) does NOT translate to a pro-2A record — he chairs the Gun Violence Prevention Task Force, authored H.R.8 universal background checks, voted Yea on the 2022 assault-weapons ban, and is Giffords-endorsed. Did not join Democrat crossovers on Laken Riley, SAVE Act, or HR30. AIPAC funding claims conflict (advocacy tally vs staff denial) — left null. Refined under disambiguated slug mike-thompson-ca-04 (3-way slug collision broken 2026-06-09).
