JDCA endorses candidates who share our Jewish and Democratic values. Every race is unique and we consider each race on its own merits. In general, JDCA’s endorsement process considers many factors, such as the size of the Jewish population and the extent to which Jewish voters can impact the outcome of the election; whether candidates face strong challengers; and the candidates’ positions on issues of concern to Jewish voters and JDCA.
2024 Endorsements
National
President Joe Biden
President Biden has been one of the most consequential presidents in modern American history. From the American Rescue Plan, to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill, to the Inflation Reduction Act, President Biden has accomplished a remarkable amount despite extreme Republican obstructionism. JDCA — the political home and voice of Jewish voters in support of Democrats who share our core values — played a critical role in helping to ensure victory for the Biden-Harris ticket in 2020, and we look forward to doing it again in 2024.
Since announcing his candidacy for president four years ago, President Biden has advanced the policy priorities and values of Jewish American voters, including efforts to restore the soul of America. We’re particularly grateful for the Biden administration’s efforts to defend democracy, combat right-wing extremism and antisemitism, ensure access to affordable healthcare and abortion, protect the environment, advance gun safety reform, support the U.S.-Israel relationship, and more.
