Red Flags

🚩aipacAIPAC Donor Network — $70K+ Direct + Former AIPAC President on Finance Committee

The Intercept reported on March 12, 2026 that at least 27 AIPAC donors gave $70K+ directly to Stratton's Senate campaign. Lee Rosenberg, a former president of AIPAC, sits on her campaign finance committee. AIPAC is officially staying neutral in the IL Senate race but its donor network is active for Stratton.
