List of politicians funded by AIPAC

AIPAC's logo in 2020 The following is a list of American politicians and political candidates who have received funding from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).

Until 2021, AIPAC did not raise funds for political candidates itself; its members raised money for candidates through political action committees unaffiliated with AIPAC and by other means. In December of that year, AIPAC founded the United Democracy Project (UDP), a SUPER PAC that presents itself as an organization that supports "democracies around the world". The UDP is responsible for directly investing AIPAC's money in support of pro-Israel candidates.

AIPAC began directly funding congressional candidates during the 2022 midterm elections, in which it spent $13 million and played a role in unseating Israel critics Marie Newman and Andy Levin. The group was one of the largest outside donors in the 2024 elections, spending $100 million in 389 congressional races (26 in the Senate, 363 in the House). The group has funded Republican, Democratic and independent candidates. According to AIPAC, 318 candidates backed by AIPAC were elected that year.
