Track AIPAC (also known as AIPAC Tracker) [1] is an online project and advocacy platform that documents and publishes information on the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and related pro-Israel political spending and influence in United States politics.
Casey Kennedy has cited the documentary series The Lobby in 2020 as the inspiration for Track AIPAC. [2] Track AIPAC was established as a Twitter account in 2024 by Cory Archibald and Casey Kennedy, who also co-founded Citizens Against AIPAC Corruption. [3] [4] Archibald is a former staffer for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman. [4] Prior to November 2025, Track AIPAC operated anonymously; that month, Archibald and Kennedy revealed themselves as its founders due to what they said were doxing threats by AIPAC. [3]
As of November 2025, Track AIPAC had endorsed around three dozen Senate and House candidates. [4] By that point, it had almost 400,000 followers on Twitter. [5]
Track AIPAC tracks political donations by organizations that are part of the Israel lobby in the United States, including AIPAC, Democratic Majority for Israel (DMFI), the Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) and J Street. [6] [7] [8] It relies on data from OpenSecrets and the Federal Election Commission. [9] It also tracks politicians' voting records with regards to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, such as progressive politician Jasmine Crockett, who Track AIPAC says "has a poor legislative record on Israel-Palestine issues." [8]
Archibald said Track AIPAC's aim is to make working with AIPAC a political liability. [3] Archibald and Kennedy stated they will endorse candidates who commit to rejecting donations from the Israel lobby, supporting Palestinian statehood, enforcing the Leahy Laws and overturning Citizens United. [4] Kennedy said in November 2025, "Our next target is the big oil lobby." [3]
Track AIPAC argues that AIPAC should register as a foreign agent. [8] [5] It has argued that "the Israeli regime" is an "evil, malignant force that seeks the destruction" of Gaza and neighboring countries, and Israel "should simply not exist" if it cannot survive without "without US foreign aid", which it characterizes as "forced donations from the citizens of the United States." It has also argued that pro-Israel politicians who accept donations from AIPAC are "Israel First traitor[s] to America". [5] [10] In March 2025, Track AIPAC called on its followers to boycott the 2025 Snow White film due to the involvement of Gal Gadot, who had previously served in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). [5] Track AIPAC has denounced 19-year old American and IDF soldier Itay Chen taken hostage by Hamas as he "volunteered to move overseas.......to partake in ethnic cleansing and genocide" according to them [4] [5] and characterized allegations of sexual violence by Hamas in the October 7 attacks as "debunked rape propaganda from the Israel lobby" in October 2024. [5]
David Frank, a professor of communication at the University of Oregon, said, "AIPAC is on the ropes. It's being defeated and losing its hold on the American public, the Track AIPAC is grassroots in identifying how powerful AIPAC is. The founders wanted to show how much money is going to each member of Congress. They want to make the money toxic, so that even the recipients of smaller donations will want to return the money." [8]
