What it is
DMFI PAC is registered with the FEC as a hybrid PAC, connected to Jewish Democracy Project. In 2026 it has reported $3.6M in independent expenditures across 7 races, 71% of it helping Republicans.
A hybrid PAC keeps two bank accounts: one that gives directly to candidates under contribution limits, and one that spends independently with unlimited money, like a super PAC.
