“‘Zioness joins the likes of Jewish Democratic Council of America (JDCA) in campaigning to drive turnout for Harris and other congressional candidates. The groups plan to host educational events and contact Jews in battleground states through two million texts, calls and other messages as part of the effort.

‘I disagree with this idea that our party is somehow associated with anything other than being strongly pro-Israel,’ Halie Soifer, who leads JDCA, said in an interview. Soifer worked as a national security adviser to Harris from 2017 while she was a senator.

JDCA, founded in 2017, will also hold a series of events featuring lawmakers including Senator Ben Cardin of Maryland, New York Representative Jerry Nadler and Maryland’s Jamie Raskin. The group last month released an ad targeting Jewish voters in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.”
