AIPAC Spends Millions in Race to Replace Swalwell

“The American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the powerful pro-Israel lobby, has spent tens of millions of dollars on key congressional campaigns, but its latest mark is a California Democrat in a once-sleepy race,” the Washington Post reports.

”AIPAC’s super PAC, United Democracy Project, poured nearly $2.5 million into a Tuesday runoff between two Democrats competing for the House seat vacated by former representative Eric Swalwell (D). The groups have run ads against state Sen. Aisha Wahab, a progressive endorsed by the California Democratic Party, and boosted her moderate opponent, Melissa Hernandez, a San Francisco Bay Area transportation official.”
