Urge Congress to Cosponsor Bipartisan Resolutions Backing Historic Peace Agreements

It's a new era for peace, progress and prosperity in Israeli-Arab relations.


New bipartisan resolutions in the House and Senate strongly support the recent peace agreements between Israel, the UAE and Bahrain and urge other countries to follow suit.

Tracking Turnover in Congress



Over the weekend, Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA) was the latest member of Congress to announce he would not seek reelection.


The 2020 elections are less than one month away. All 435 House seats, 35 Senate seats, and the executive branch are in the balance.


As of today, there are 49 open seats in the House and Senate, meaning that almost 10 percent of Congress will be turning over this fall before a single member of Congress loses an election.


Turnover in Congress requires constant planning and work to build meaningful relationships with viable candidates long before their election. Your support of AIPAC helps make that happen.
