We endorsed 22 more Democrats this week
This week, JDCA announced the endorsement of 22 Democrats who share the values and priorities of Jewish voters, including protecting abortion access, defending our democracy, combating antisemitism, and supporting Israel. The endorsements include Senate candidates Ruben Gallego (AZ), Adam Schiff (CA), Debbie Mucarsel-Powell (FL), and Elissa Slotkin (MI), and House candidates George Latimer (NY-16) and Wesley Bell (MO-01). All of our endorsees share our fundamental values as Jewish Americans and are experienced leaders who stand fervently against the right-wing extremism that puts our community at risk. See all of our newly endorsed candidates.
JDCA is the only national organization dedicated to mobilizing Jewish voters to advocate for policies that reflect Jewish values and to elect Democrats who share our priorities. We saw the impact of our work when we helped elect Tom Suozzi in the NY-3 special election and we will build off of that success to flip more seats from red to blue. Our latest round of endorsements – which will not be our last – includes races critical for Democrats’ chances of winning control of the House. Each of these candidates will play a role in helping Democrats win this November.
At a moment of unprecedented danger for Jewish Americans and for our democracy, JDCA is responding with action at the ballot box. JDCA PAC’s new video, ‘Day One,’ contrasts Donald Trump’s fascism with President Biden’s vision for an American future where our rights and democracy are protected. Watch and share the new video.

JEWISH DEMS MOURN THE LOSS OF JOE LIEBERMAN
Joe Lieberman was a trailblazer who made history by becoming the first Jewish American to be nominated on a major party’s ticket when he and Vice President Al Gore won the popular vote in the 2000 presidential election. In his more than two decades as a senator, Lieberman wore his Jewish identity proudly and represented his Jewish values, paving the way for many who came after him. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones. May his memory be a blessing.
