AIPAC’s Money Behind Wahab’s Run | Fresno News
Description
State Senator Aisha Wahab is under fire from powerful outside groups tied to AIPAC, who’ve dumped over five million dollars into the East Bay congressional runoff — aimed squarely at defeating her and boosting her opponent, Melissa Hernandez. One PAC alone spent a million bucks on ads attacking Wahab, whom she blames for triggering this backlash by speaking out on Gaza. Her campaign calls it misinformation, while her opponent’s team frames it as criticism of her voting record on public safety. This isn’t new — AIPAC already poured 32 million into Michigan’s Senate race last year, and now may spend tens of millions more to back Republican Mike Rogers against El-Sayed. The money trail reveals just how deeply outside interests are shaping election outcomes — and how much they’re willing to pay to win.
