John, we did the math. We even launched our own website to track it:
Since May 16th, AIPAC has spent more than $10.9 million against Jamaal Bowman.
That’s almost half a million dollars PER DAY.
And they’ve committed to spending even MORE over the coming weeks — before Jamaal Bowman’s primary on June 25th — in the hopes of unseating one of the strongest progressive champions in Congress.
Please split a contribution between Jamaal Bowman and WFP right now. AIPAC and their GOP megadonors are ramping up their attacks, and we’ll need every resource at our disposal if we’re going to win.

Let’s break this down a little bit more, John.
AIPAC is a GOP-funded lobbying group that has endorsed over 100 insurrectionists for Congress.
That’s not a typo. And it’s not even something they dispute. They actively endorsed and supported the same Republican members of Congress who tried to overturn the election results in 2020.1
AIPAC donors have also given millions to the likes of Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, and Ron DeSantis.2
Meanwhile, the members of Congress that they’re targeting — like Jamaal Bowman and Cori Bush — have led the fight for working families in Congress, and for policies like affordable housing, healthcare for all, climate action, and a permanent ceasefire in Gaza.
The stakes couldn’t be higher. We can’t let a super PAC funded by right-wing billionaires defeat Jamaal Bowman this month.
Please make a split donation today between WFP and Jamaal Bowman’s campaign and help fight back against AIPAC’s attempts to flood the airwaves with GOP megadonor cash.
Thank you,
Team WFP
