Non AIPAC Congress Folk

AIPAC-free Congress members are those who have publicly rejected donations from AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) and affiliated pro-Israel PACs, or show zero contributions from such groups per trackers like TrackAIPAC, OpenSecrets, and progressive coalitions (e.g., Reject AIPAC).

As of early 2026 in the 119th Congress, lists focus on public commitments and endorsements from anti-AIPAC groups. No exhaustive official tally exists, but prominent AIPAC-free incumbents (mostly progressive Democrats) include:

  • Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY)
  • Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN)
  • Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI)
  • Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA)
  • Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA)
  • Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-IL)
  • Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA)
  • Rep. Greg Casar (D-TX)
  • Rep. Nydia Velázquez (D-NY)
  • Rep. André Carson (D-IN)
  • Rep. Chuy García (D-IL)
  • Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL)
  • Rep. Becca Balint (D-VT)
  • Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR)

Other noted rejectors or zero-contribution members include Rep. Mark Pocan (D-WI) and some recent pledges (e.g., certain members returning funds amid pressure).

On the Republican side, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) stands alone with no pro-Israel PAC donations in his record, per TrackAIPAC and OpenSecrets—often cited as the sole GOP outlier rejecting such influence.

Numbers vary by source (e.g., ~10-15 Democrats publicly rejecting, plus Massie), as AIPAC's main entity lobbies but affiliates bundle/spend heavily. Many more may have low/no direct ties but don't publicly declare.
