Targeted Candidates
Money pro-Israel political committees spent to defeat congressional candidates through independent expenditures (2022–2026). By law this is spent without coordinating with any campaign — it is not money a candidate received. Muslim, Arab-American and pro-Palestinian candidates are among the most heavily targeted.
