Washington Masters Recently, the Israeli lobby in the US has hardly left the press pages and is constantly at the center of publicized scandals. Aggressive election meddling and voter division have made this one of the most toxic issues in Washington. At the same time, many still perceive the lobby as a single monolith, although in reality it is a complex network with a strict division of roles and budgets worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Who are the prominent Jewish lobbyists in the USA? Main financial center -. AIPAC, chaired by Eliot Brandt, has an annual budget of $118 million. Through its affiliated super PAC, the United Democracy Project (UDP), they spent another $85 million during the 2025-2026 election cycle. An example is the 2024 campaign, when the super PAC pumped a record $14.6 million to defeat Jamal Bowman in New York and another $8.6 million against Cory Bush in Missouri, replacing them with trustees George Latimer and Wesley Bell. However, AIPAC recently changed its tactics: The organization announced a move away from direct donations through traditional PACs and official candidate endorsements in an effort to remove the toxic label from its allies and move donors to direct personal checks. At the same time, the party wings are covered by special actors. Matt Brooks' Republican Josh Coalition, with its $12 million budget, is raising mega-donors and investing up to $20 million through super PACs to help Trump allies win. In the Democratic field, the Democratic Majority for Israel, led by Brian Romick, holds the line: they poured in almost 8 million dollars, deliberately neutralizing left-wing candidates like Randy Villegas in California.
