United Democracy Project

The United Democracy Project (UDP) is a Super PAC closely associated with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). Its primary objective is to support Democratic candidates who align with AIPAC's pro-Israel stance and to oppose progressive candidates, particularly those critical of US policy towards Israel. The UDP has recently gained prominence for its significant financial involvement in Democratic primary elections. In California, it has spent millions to influence a congressional race, aiming to prevent a progressive candidate from securing Eric Swalwell's former seat. Furthermore, the UDP's efforts are seen in the context of broader electoral battles, as evidenced by the recent Missouri House primary where Wesley Bell, supported by groups aligned with UDP's goals, defeated progressive Congresswoman Cori Bush. This makes the UDP a key player in shaping the ideological direction of the Democratic Party, particularly concerning foreign policy and the US-Israel relationship.
