Ted Cruz

Ted Cruz (U.S. Senator, Texas) appears on Track AIPAC's list of likely 2028 presidential contenders; Track AIPAC is an advocacy project that follows pro-Israel lobby money in U.S. politics. Track AIPAC's 2028 tracker credits Cruz with $1.62M in Israel-lobby money, all of it from PACs and donors. Its congress page, a career tally as of 5 July 2026, shows $1.41M ($1.41M donations, $0 outside spending). Listed groups: AIPAC, AMP, AGG, BICPAC, BICOUNTY, COPAC, CITY, GCSC, HEARTLAND, LAFAS, MDACC, MMPAC, NORPAC, RJC, SUNPAC, TPOH, USI, WAPAC, YJL. 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. The tracker's numbers are an advocacy tally built from campaign-finance data, not official FEC totals.
