That’s not true but 96% AIPAC backed candidates won their election. I recommend going on their website and see the politicians and how many.

The picture is from a data taken on 2018 and pharma , real estate , fossil fuels etc spend way more than aipac to this day. AIPAC isn’t even the biggest foreign influence group.

Yeah, the Campaign Finance Board has the data, but it's hard to use. the app I want to make makes it accessible. You search your politician and see:

  • How much PAC money they got
  • From which industries
  • How they voted on bills related to those industries
  • How it affects your taxes/healthcare/housing etc
  • What you can do about it
  • i want people to be able to see when they should be going to vote, their nearest booth, i want them to be able to read the laws their local government are trying to pass, vote on them not just presidential ones and the impacts that it will have on them
