Former congresswoman Marie Newman is advocating for laws to limit the contributions of groups with foreign lobbying interests in US elections. Newman, who represented a district with a large Arab and Muslim population, claims that she lost her seat due to enormous donations made to her rival by pro-Israel political action committees (PACs). She rejects accusations of being anti-Israel and antisemitic, emphasizing her support for non-violence and a two-state solution. Newman also calls for the elimination or drastic limitation of all PAC money in election campaigns, citing the influence of corporate PACs on domestic issues.
