Getting already elected representatives to vote for or against their pet issues is how AIPAC frequently flexes its influence.

Also, before 2025, AIPAC had a decent success rate at getting its chosen candidates elected/reelected.

Voters against the Gaza genocide caught on, and now AIPAC has had to hide it’s influence under a collection of shell organizations.
