Jewish Dems Launch Six-Figure Ad Campaign: “Jewish Americans Stand With Kamala Harris Because She Stands With Us”

July 29, 2024

WASHINGTON – Following its endorsement of Vice President Harris last Sunday, the Jewish Democratic Council of America (JDCA)’s PAC, JDCA PAC, launched a new digital ad declaring that “Jewish Americans stand with Kamala Harris because she stands with us.” The JDCA PAC ad, with an initial six-figure spend behind it, will reach Jewish voters – including Independent voters – via OpenWeb, social media, and across connected TV streaming platforms in seven states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

The 30-second spot highlights Vice President Harris’ alignment with Jewish voters on four key issues of importance to the community: the U.S.-Israel relationship, combating antisemitism, protecting democracy and ensuring abortion access. After underscoring these key points, the ad concludes with “The choice is clear: Kamala Harris for President.”

Halie Soifer, JDCA CEO and a former Harris National Security Advisor in the Senate, said, “I have seen and experienced firsthand the Vice President’s strong support of and alignment with Jewish Americans on a range of issues, including antisemitism and Israel. She understands the issues that matter to our community and has a strong track record of taking meaningful action to defend our democracy and abortion rights, combat antisemitism, and support Israel. Jewish voters will play a critical role in ensuring Democratic victories in 2024 and our new ad underscores that Jewish Americans stand with Kamala Harris because she stands with us.”

JDCA is the voice and political home of Jewish voters and, along with JDCA PAC, it’s the only organization focused exclusively on mobilizing Jewish voters in support of Democrats.

Earlier this month, JDCA CEO Halie Soifer was the only leader of a Jewish organization to testify before the Democratic Policy Platform Drafting Committee. In her remarks, Soifer said, “JDCA is proud to be a part of the party that stands with the vast majority of Jewish Americans, and because of this, we’re confident that the vast majority of Jewish Americans will continue to stand with Democrats.”
