United Democracy Project (UDP)

U.S. independent-expenditure-only political committee (super PAC) associated with AIPAC; registered FEC committee C00799031.

History and structure

United Democracy Project was registered January 3, 2022. A super PAC may raise and spend unlimited amounts on independent expenditures but is legally distinct from a candidate committee; this is not equivalent to money received personally by a politician.

Current documented status

The FEC publishes receipts, disbursements, independent expenditures and filings for this committee. For each donor or candidate link, verify the filing period and committee ID instead of treating AIPAC, its PAC and UDP as interchangeable.

Federal Election Commission records

Federal Election Commission records show that United Democracy Project registered on January 3, 2022, as an independent-expenditure-only committee. In its first two-year reporting cycle (2021–2022, with activity reported for calendar 2022), the FEC reports approximately $35.94 million in receipts, $32.94 million in disbursements and $26.12 million in independent expenditures. Those figures are historical, not a statement of its 2026 receipts or spending.

The FEC lists Christopher D'Alessio as treasurer in its committee records. Detailed donor-level receipts and candidate-level independent expenditures can be traced through the public filing system by election cycle and filing date. This super PAC is affiliated with AIPAC's electoral activity, but is not the same legal committee as AIPAC PAC.
