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. [1] 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, although the organization does not mention AIPAC or Israel in its promotional materials and strategically avoids doing so in the advertisements it produces for its recipients. [2] [3] [4]

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. [5] [6] More than 318 Zionist candidates who received money from AIPAC were elected that year. [7]
