Congressman Suhas Subramanyam is marking his 100 days in office as the US representative for Virginia’s 10th congressional district amid controversy about allegedly getting funding from American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).
At a town hall on Apr. 13 in Fairfax County, Subramanyam was asked about taking money from AIPAC. He replied that AIPAC has not sent him any money. “I have gotten far more money from people who oppose Israel,” Subramanyam said. “My vote is not bought in any sort of way, I vote based on my community, based on the facts, based on what’s best for our country.”
However, a report cites Open Secrets highlighting AIPAC being the Indian American politician’s top contributor in 2023-24. Moreover, AIPAC Tracker posted a fact check on social media highlighting that Subramanyam received $32,943.19 via AIPAC per his campaign finance reports. It stated that candidates don’t receive an AIPAC endorsement without submitting an Israel position paper.
