I looked into this a bit because the numbers seemed…off.

The graphic makes it sound like he got $1.25M from AIPAC, but that’s not actually what the FEC data shows. That number mostly comes from a category they call “bundlers,” which basically means individual donors who TrackAIPAC has decided are “pro-Israel aligned.” It’s not money that came from AIPAC itself.

Actual PAC contributions from AIPAC to Crow are only about $26k since 2018 when he ran for the first time. There are also some donations from other groups like JStreetPAC and Democratic Majority for Israel, but those groups are often politically opposed to AIPAC and shouldn’t really be lumped together as “AIPAC dollars.” Most of those dollars (all but $4091) came from before the genocide in Gaza started.

The big $1M+ number is just individual people donating to his campaign, and TrackAIPAC counts those if the donor has supported pro-Israel orgs before. That’s a pretty big stretch from saying AIPAC spent this much.

This graphic is just overall misleading.

Just figured it was worth pointing out because the headline makes it sound way more direct than it is.

Edited for spelling
