Jewish Dems Endorse 135+ Candidates

June 17, 2026

This week, we announced ten new endorsements representing critical red-to-blue races, incumbents with a record of standing with our community, and rising stars in our party.

We’re excited to announce our endorsement of James Talarico (TX-Sen.), Alex Vindman (FL-Sen.), Juliana Stratton (IL-Sen.), Jocelyn Benson (MI-Gov.), Jonathan Nez (AZ-02), Donna Miller (IL-02), Melissa Bean (IL-08), Daniel Biss (IL-09), Grace Meng (NY-06), and Adriano Espaillat (NY-13).

Now is the time to act. Our democracy and values are on the ballot.

These ten candidates have earned JDCA’s support and have demonstrated a consistent commitment to issues of importance to Jewish voters, including defense of democracy and our freedoms, affordability, and the fight against antisemitism.

Jewish Americans are tired of Trump’s corruption, and Republican Senate candidate Ken Paxton in Texas may be the second most corrupt politician in America – only behind Donald Trump. James Talarico can beat him and turn this red state blue. And if Democrats do the same in other battleground states, we can win back control of the Senate.

By supporting JDCA PAC, you’re supporting our ads on behalf of candidates and helping to expand direct voter engagement efforts ahead of Election Day. Your support is critical to our success in delivering victory for Democrats and flipping the House and Senate. We’ve done this before, and we’ll do it again, but we need your help.

Thank you for your partnership and support,

Dalia Segal-Miller
Political and Policy Director, Jewish Democratic Council of America
