In 2022, AIPAC PAC was dollar-for-dollar the largest contributor to candidates in American politics. AIPAC members contributed $17.5 million to pro-Israel candidates through the AIPAC PAC.
We endorsed the full House Democratic and Republican leadership teams, along with:
Congresswoman Shontel Brown (D-OH)
Won her primary by 30 points, overcoming an initial 35-point deficit to defeat anti-Israel candidate Nina Turner, saying: The support from the pro-Israel community... I'm eternally grateful for that. [...] Making sure people knew I was a proud pro-Israel candidate, never backing down, never shying away, and it was reciprocated. The pro-Israel community fully embraced me. [...] Clearly being a U.S. pro-Israel candidate is good politics… it’s good for the folks who think that you cannot be progressive and pro-Israel – but you can.
Congresswoman Haley Stevens (D-MI)
Won her primary by 20 points, defeating Bernie Sanders-endorsed Rep. Andy Levin: On my primary election night, I wanted to thank AIPAC and the pro-Israel community. Our values spoke very loudly this evening. We faced attacks, we faced questions, we stayed firm, we stayed true to ourselves. We came together through joy, optimism, a fierce determination, and a steadfast view of what we believe in. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I look forward to... figuring out how to continue to support our pro- Israel elected officials and our pro-Israel candidates seeking election office.
Congressman Glenn Ivey (D-MD)
Won his primary by 16 points, defeating anti-Israel candidate Donna Edwards, saying: About three months ago… Donna Edwards put out a poll that had me down, I think it was 15 points. […] But when AIPAC came in and the pro-Israel community got behind us in full force, we rocketed ahead.

Congressman Don Bacon (R-NE)
Defeated his J Street-endorsed opponent thanks to significant resources from AIPAC members, saying: I want to thank all of the AIPAC supporters and all the folks who are part of AIPAC. You made a huge difference in NE-2… Your support in the last month of this campaign gave us the firepower to stay on TV. We knocked on 30,000 doors in the last ten days… We couldn’t have done that without your support. AIPAC, you are a great wingman… you helped deliver victory tonight.
Congresswoman Young Kim (R-CA)
Won her primary election, defeating an anti-Israel Republican challenger, and continues to be a strong pro-Israel voice in Congress: Being able to serve and give my voice to the importance of the U.S.-Israel relationship, that has been really an issue that’s rewarding to me… So continuing to work on strengthening our relationship, adding my voice to make sure that Israel is our very important ally, and also giving them the security support that’s very much needed has been really rewarding for me.
Congressman Ken Calvert (R-CA)
Won his election in a redrawn competitive district, enabling him to continue to serve as a pro-Israel leader in Congress: I have and always will support a strong U.S.-Israel relationship in Congress. I’m proud to stand with Israel and many of our shared values. I look forward to many more years of friendship and of partnership with the Jewish state.
UDP is one of the largest bipartisan super PACs in the U.S., demonstrating the strength of the pro-Israel community.
The AIPAC-backed super PAC takes the political fight to anti-Israel candidates and supports their pro-Israel opponents.
AIPAC had grown its power not simply with the wealth of a handful of mega-donors, but through genuine and sustained grassroots organizing. -The Intercept, October 16, 2022
United Democracy Project (the AIPAC-aligned Super PAC) helped pro-Israel candidates defeat opponents who would have undermined the U.S.-Israel relationship in Congress.
