Our Pick
Adam Hamilton
Why Hamilton
Hamilton says he takes no corporate PAC or AIPAC money, and PACs gave him about 1% of what he raised. Marshall got 35% of his money from PACs, $284K of it through AIPAC's PAC, and grades F.
The Catch
Hamilton's side has more outside money, $38M to $25M, much of it from groups funded by Senate Democrats' super PAC. He is a moderate, not a progressive, and was a registered Republican as recently as 2020.
