Republican Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna, a prominent pro-Israel voice in the US House of Representatives, announced she will stop accepting donations from corporations and foreign policy interest groups. The decision comes after she won a narrow victory in the midterm elections. Luna, who received about $38,000 from the pro-Israel lobby AIPAC in her last campaign, explained that she wants her constituents to know that no one influences her positions in Washington. "No one controls me and no one influences me," she stated. Her decision comes amid growing bipartisan criticism of the influence of pro-Israel donors on American politics and following the success of Democratic candidates who opposed military aid to Israel.
