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.

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.

FL-08 (Space Coast) since 2025 (replacing Bill Posey); FL Senate President 2010-2012. Thin federal record — scored from 119th-Congress marquee roll calls (verified in Clerk XML) and cosponsor lists; many cells honestly null. DEVIATION: mandatory-E-Verify immigration reform died under his FL Senate presidency in 2011 (the Senate stripped private-employer E-Verify; PolitiFact). NOT a Life at Conception Act (H.R.722) cosponsor — absence confirmed on GovTrack, but SBA Pro-Life Candidate Fund endorsed him in 2024. Yea on OBBBA both passes (deficit-increasing reconciliation) — mixed fiscal signal; the 'fiscal conservatism book' claim is false (his book was a $152K taxpayer-funded Brevard CC contract that became an ethics controversy). Cosponsored the Birthright Citizenship Act (H.R.569) and Anti-CBDC Act (H.R.1919). NRA-PVF 'A' + endorsement 2024. Cosponsored H.R.38 reciprocity — not constitutional carry. As Senate President, credited by Florida Family Action for the 2011 ultrasound law's passage.
