Backed losers

AIPAC gave $30M to super PACs and other outside groups in the 2026 federal elections, and 88% of it helped Democrats (FEC filings with varying coverage dates; the most common larger-campaign cutoff is Oct 14, 2026). Among dollars with a matched election-stage result, 25% were on the winning side ($1.5M won, $4.4M lost, with $523K in races still being counted). $5.1M had no matched result and is excluded.

The lobby itself, funding its super PAC. AIPAC does not disclose its donors.

The AIPAC network: $67M

AIPAC's money reaches elections four ways: members' gifts earmarked to candidates through its PAC, the PAC's own checks, its super PAC's outside spending, and that super PAC's gifts to other groups.

The total adds the money that reached candidates, races or other groups. A struck-through amount is money already inside another line, so it is shown but not added twice.

Where the checks went

A company, LLC or nonprofit. Where its money came from is not reported. Each gift is split the way the group that received it split its spending between winners and losers, so a $10M check to a group that spent 80% on losers counts as $8M on the losing side.
