Israel lobby money, career total
Ranked #82 of 533 members of Congress in our database.
Figure compiled from Federal Election Commission filings as of September 5, 2026: direct and earmarked donations from 97 pro-Israel PACs across every FEC cycle since 1980, plus independent expenditures made on Shelley's behalf, including attacks on Shelley's opponent by the same group.
How that compares
Career totals from FEC filings, across the 100 sitting Senate members in our database. We scale against the top-10% threshold rather than the single highest total ($5,196,655, Susan Collins), because one outlier that large would flatten every other bar to nothing.

Method
Career totals from pro-Israel PACs, compiled from Federal Election Commission filings: every dollar the 97 pro-Israel committees we track have ever put into a politician's campaigns, across every federal office they have run for and every FEC cycle on file (1980 to today). That means direct PAC checks, the earmarked checks the PACs bundle and pass through (AIPAC PAC, NORPAC, JStreetPAC), and independent expenditures (ads, mailers, organizing) made to elect them, including money the same group spent attacking their opponent in that race. Where a super PAC that is not itself a pro-Israel PAC is funded mainly by the lobby's mega-donors or by a tracked PAC, we count that spending only after a donor review, and we publish the filings on the Receipts page. Money spent AGAINST a politician is never added to their total. Full methodology and the list of tracked committees.
