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.
Reach out directly. Your voice matters. Proverbs 29:2 — When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice.
A longtime fiscal hawk who has stalled or voted against large unoffset spending bills from both parties and seeks a balanced budget, objecting to multi-trillion-dollar packages 'no one has had time to read.'
Voted against the February 2024 $95B Ukraine/Israel foreign-aid package and has repeatedly opposed open-ended Ukraine funding, arguing the war is not winnable and U.S. money should not flow indefinitely — aligning with the rubric's call to wind down foreign military entanglements.
A persistent critic of COVID-era pharmaceutical and public-health mandates: convened Senate roundtables on vaccine injuries and demanded a vote to end the military's COVID-19 vaccine mandate, challenging the pharma-government consensus the rubric warns against.
