A series of significant political contributions and expenditures by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and associated entities have been reported in various congressional races. A newly formed PAC, 'Voters for Responsible Government,' suspected to be linked to AIPAC, has invested $700,000 in a campaign to replace Earl Blumenauer. In another race, AIPAC is projected to spend up to $25 million to support George Latimer against Rep. Jamaal Bowman, with a quarter of Latimer's campaign funds reportedly raised through AIPAC, including at least $200,000 from GOP donors. Additionally, a right-wing, Republican-backed pro-Israel PAC has spent $1.3 million in an attempt to unseat Bowman, a noted anti-war congressman. Furthermore, the 'pro science' PAC, 314 Action, funded by AIPAC, has spent $1.7 million to oppose the sister of Democrat Pramila Jayapal in a primary, marking a significant increase from their total spending in the 2022 primary.
Exclusive: 314 Action, a “pro science” PAC, just spent $1.7M of a secret donor’s money to attack Democrat Pramila Jayapal’s sister in a congressional primary — more than they spent on the entire primary in 2022. Today we’re revealing the name of that secret donor: AIPAC. 🧵
NEW: Jamaal Bowman’s primary could be the most expensive in history. AIPAC is expected to spend up to $25 million to elect their recruited candidate, George Latimer. 1/4 of Latimer’s funds have been raised thru AIPAC, and at least $200k from GOP donors https://t.co/PAsReYu8V6
A right wing, Republican-backed pro-Israel PAC has spent $1.3 MILLION DOLLARS on a Congressional race in Westchester and the Bronx. @JamaalBowmanNY has been one of the most outspoken anti-war Members of Congress, and they’re trying to take him out. We can’t let it happen. https://t.co/T2P2BcSsPF https://t.co/BeAratKYrX
AIPAC’s Next Top Target? Rep. Jamaal Bowman https://t.co/QRt3i6kawQ by @akela_lacy https://t.co/QRt3i6kawQ
Two Portland sources tell me that a brand new PAC called "Voters for Responsible Government" has purchased $700,000 in airtime in the race to replace Earl Blumenauer. This is a brand new PAC and suspected of being a vehicle for AIPAC without fingerpints. DM if you have details.
