Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) announced Thursday he has introduced the Americans Insist on Political Agent Clarity (AIPAC) Act to mandate transparency in foreign lobbying activities on Capitol Hill.

In his statement, Massie emphasized that the bill would subject AIPAC to the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), stating: “For some reason, they’re immune right now. And I think, not just the money that’s spent in politics, but the lobbying that happens on Capitol Hill should be reported if it’s a foreign country.”

The Kentucky Republican added that regardless of whether the countries involved are Great Britain, Australia, Turkey, Qatar, or Israel, all such activities must be disclosed. Massie also called for requiring social media influencers to disclose any foreign financial contributions, noting: “I believe we should have that same sort of truth and advertising on social media. Because if it’s a good idea in the other outlets, it would be a good idea on social media.”

The introduction of the AIPAC Act comes days before Massie faces his highly anticipated GOP primary runoff against Trump-endorsed Ed Gallrein.

Massie previously angered President Trump by voting against his signature tax legislation over concerns about adding to national debt, advocating for the release of Jeffrey Epstein’s files, and opposing the administration’s decision to go to war with Iran. He maintains that these positions reflect Trump’s original America First campaign promises.

In Kentucky’s 4th Congressional District—a region where President Trump won by 35 points two years ago—Massie told The Associated Press his upcoming primary race is “by far the most challenging reelection I’ve ever faced.”

The district extends from the outskirts of Louisville along the Ohio River through suburban areas south of Cincinnati and into Appalachian foothills. Voters have re-elected Massie since his first term in 2012, embracing his independent stance and distinctive personality. In 2020, they dismissed Trump’s social media demand to “throw Massie out of Republican Party” due to his designation as a “third rate Grandstander.”

Currently, Republican voters in the district are debating whether to take similar action.

A recent poll conducted Monday and Tuesday showed Massie trailing Gallrein by 5 points. Of 908 respondents, 48.3 percent supported Gallrein—whom Trump endorsed last year amid a feud with Massie—while 43.1 percent backed the incumbent. Over 8 percent were undecided.

Among the undecided group of 69 respondents, 52.2 percent favored Gallrein and 20.3 percent supported Massie. More than 27 percent remained non-committal even when prompted to choose a preference.

Massie, a libertarian who has represented Kentucky’s 4th District since 2012, is the third-longest-tenured member of the state’s House delegation, behind Republican Reps. Hal Rogers and Brett Guthrie. However, after Massie broke with Trump on several issues—including U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities in June, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, and the administration’s handling of Jeffrey Epstein-related files—the president withdrew his support for Massie and endorsed Gallrein instead.
