Mark Messmer (U.S. Representative, Indiana's 8th District) sits in the current Congress. Track AIPAC, an advocacy project that follows pro-Israel lobby money in U.S. politics, ranks Messmer No. 12 among current members of Congress by Israel-lobby money, with a federal career total of $2.85M as of 5 July 2026: $329,491 in direct donations from pro-Israel PACs and donors and $2.52M in independent (outside) spending. AIPAC, its super PAC United Democracy Project and allied PACs use this money to reward politicians who keep U.S. weapons flowing to Israel; the UN Commission of Inquiry concluded in September 2025 that Israel committed genocide in Gaza. AIPAC's super PAC, United Democracy Project, spent $53.4M on independent expenditures in the 2025–2026 cycle through 31 August 2026, according to FEC filings. The tracker's numbers are an advocacy tally built from campaign-finance data, not official FEC totals.
