Pro-Israel PAC Floods Assembly Races With Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars
The recently formed Solidarity PAC has mobilized big finance and real estate to target socialists and the Working Families Party.
To identify apparent Solidarity PAC-affiliated donations, New York Focus matched contributions to the PAC itself with donations to its selected campaigns made by the same people, for the same amount, and on or around the same date. New York Focus also included three sets of identical donations made simultaneously to at least six Solidarity PAC campaigns that don’t include corresponding donations to the PAC; these donors did not donate to any other candidates. The analysis excluded sets of donations to five or fewer of the PAC endorsed-candidates, although it is possible those donations were also made through the PAC’s fundraising solicitation.
