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 $820,719 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.

Category Breakdown
Candidate affirms life begins at conception and personhood from conception
1 claim
An original cosponsor of the Women's Health Protection Act of 2025 (H.R. 12, 119th Congress), which would establish a federal statutory right to abortion and nullify state restrictions at any stage of pregnancy. After the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision, Frankel publicly stated that '12 states have criminalized abortion since Roe was overturned' and called for federal legislation to protect nationwide abortion access — rejecting any life-at-conception or personhood standard.
