Paul Augustus Findley (June 23, 1921 – August 9, 2019) was an American writer and politician. He served as United States Representative from Illinois, representing its 20th District. A Republican, he was first elected in 1960. A moderate Republican for most of his long political career, Findley was a supporter of civil rights and an early opponent of the U.S. war in Vietnam. He co-authored the War Powers Act in 1973, which aims to limit the ability of the president to go to war without congressional authorization. Findley lost his seat in 1982 to current United States Senator Dick Durbin who benefited from significant financial support from Israeli-aligned PACs, particularly AIPAC, which helped fuel his defeat. Findley was a cofounder of the Council for the National Interest, a Washington, D.C. advocacy group, and was a vocal critic of American policy towards Israel.
