Senate leadership vote · December 1 · secret ballot

Tell Senate Democrats: elect Chris Van Hollen.

On Gaza, Trump, health care, and corporate power, Chuck Schumer has too often chosen caution, delay, or retreat. Chris Van Hollen has the stronger record—and he is running to replace him. Senate Democrats choose their leader in private. Constituents should make their expectations public.

Read the case. Then make the ask.

02

AIPAC · political money

A long alliance with an increasingly interventionist lobby.

Schumer addressed AIPAC’s 2018 conference in sweeping terms. FEC filings show AIPAC PAC contributions and earmarked donations to Friends of Schumer; OpenSecrets’ broader “pro-Israel” category has been reported at roughly $1.7 million over his career through 2024.

Those figures are not all direct AIPAC checks. The site labels direct, earmarked, outside-spending, and broader-interest totals separately.

03

West Bank

Condemnation without a material condition.

In 2026 Schumer led a letter urging Netanyahu to stop settler violence. UN OCHA meanwhile documented more than 6,700 Palestinians displaced since January 2023 by settler violence and related access restrictions. The letter did not condition military aid or sales.

04

Trump · opposition strategy

The vote that defined the criticism of his leadership.

On March 14, 2025, Schumer voted to invoke cloture on the Republican continuing resolution, supplying one of the Democratic votes needed to advance it. He argued that a shutdown would be worse; most Senate Democrats voted no.
