Context & Trends
AIPAC and its affiliated network of pro-Israel political action committees represent one of the most well-funded lobbying operations in American politics. The spending tracked on this page covers direct PAC contributions, independent expenditures, and bundled donations from a network of PACs including AIPAC, Democratic Majority for Israel (DMFI), United Democracy Project (UDP), and others.
Pro-Israel lobby spending has grown dramatically in recent election cycles. AIPAC's super PAC, United Democracy Project, spent over $100 million in the 2024 cycle alone — making AIPAC the single largest spender in Democratic primaries. This represented a significant escalation from previous cycles, driven largely by efforts to unseat progressive candidates critical of Israel's policies.
The bipartisan nature of this spending is strategic: by funding members of both parties, the pro-Israel lobby ensures that Israel-related legislation receives overwhelming support regardless of which party controls Congress. The 2024-2026 cycle has seen this strategy intensify, with record-breaking spending in both primary and general elections.
