For Sam Liccardo’s successful 2024 House campaign:
- *Direct AIPAC PAC contributions:* *$10,000* (the maximum PAC
contribution for the primary and general election combined). This would
appear in FEC filings as a contribution from the AIPAC PAC.
- *Including AIPAC-affiliated individual donors:* Public campaign
finance trackers report a total of *about $80,000–$90,000* in support
associated with AIPAC’s network during the 2023–2024 cycle. This larger
figure includes donations from individuals identified as part of AIPAC’s
donor network, not just the PAC itself.
So if someone says “Liccardo took *$10,000 from AIPAC*,” they’re referring
only to the PAC’s direct contribution. If they cite a figure around
*$80,000–$90,000*, they’re using a broader methodology that includes
affiliated individual donors as well.
If you’d like, I can also break down:
- the exact FEC entries for the $10,000,
- who the major AIPAC-affiliated individual donors were, or
- how Liccardo compares with other California members of Congress on
AIPAC-linked fundraising.
