AIPAC is actively campaigning against former Representative Cori Bush as she seeks to regain her seat in Missouri's 1st Congressional District. After helping to oust Bush in the previous election cycle, AIPAC's super PAC, United Democracy Project, has spent $865,000 on television ads supporting her opponent, Representative Wesley Bell. This amount surpasses the spending of other political action committees in the race, including the New Democrat Coalition's PAC and Bell's own campaign. Bush's campaign has spent $30,000 on ads, with no outside groups supporting her financially at this time. Bush, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, has been a vocal critic of AIPAC and its influence in politics, particularly following the recent conflict involving Israel and Hamas. She believes that there is growing discontent in her district regarding the financial influence of AIPAC in political races. The primary election is set for August 4, 2026.
