Frequently Asked Questions
What is the allegiance score?
The allegiance score is a composite metric (0-100) that measures how closely a member of Congress aligns with pro-Israel lobby priorities. It factors in total lobby funding received, voting record on Israel-related bills, PAC relationship density (number of pro-Israel PACs contributing), and consistency of alignment over time. A score above 80 indicates very strong alignment; above 90 indicates near-total alignment.
Which politicians have the highest allegiance scores?
The highest allegiance scores belong to members who combine large amounts of lobby funding with consistent pro-Israel voting records and dense PAC networks. These members typically sit on key committees (Foreign Affairs, Appropriations, Armed Services) and hold leadership positions that give them outsized influence on U.S.-Israel policy.
Does a high allegiance score mean a politician is 'bought'?
The allegiance score measures correlation between funding and voting patterns — it does not prove causation. However, when a politician receives hundreds of thousands of dollars from an interest group and votes in alignment with that group's priorities on every relevant bill, the public has a right to scrutinize that relationship. Transparency is the goal — voters deserve to know who funds their representatives and how those representatives vote.
