AIPAC announced it would stop endorsing candidates and giving directly to them, but its super PAC, the United Democracy Project, spent 333 of the 473 congressional races this year, raising its independent spending to #036;66.7 million from #036;41.4 million last cycle. Most of the money went through groups that didn't bear AIPAC's name, and in some races the public didn't learn about its role until after the vote.
