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.

AIPAC / pro-Israel-lobby contributions-20
$411,980 documented · bracket 250k_to_1m
TrackAIPAC career-total report shows $411,980 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.

CCP-linked / United Front-affiliated donors-5
$15,000 documented · bracket 1_to_25k
Identified by Newsweek investigation as one of the major NY-state recipients of the $1M+ donor network with documented ties to the United Front Work Department of the CCP. Conservatively bracketed pending granular tally.
The CCP operates an explicit United Front Work Department to direct overseas members and proxies — including business executives such as Wanxiang Group's Pin Ni (named CCP member 15 times in Chinese state media) — to cultivate political relationships in the United States. Federal law (52 U.S.C. § 30121) prohibits foreign nationals including CCP members from donating to U.S. campaigns. RESOLUTE Citizen treats documented contributions from CCP-member or United Front-affiliated donors as a failure on foreign_policy_restraint/q4 (the foreign-lobby question) AND applies a dollar-bracket adjustment to the total score.
