John,
A new report from Sludge shows the most complete, up-to-date view of the AIPAC network’s donations to congressional candidates this cycle.
Can you guess who received the most from the Republican megadonor-funded lobby group and its super PACs?
Rep. Jamaal Bowman’s so-called Democratic opponent, George Latimer.
Latimer tops the list at a whopping $1,317,454 from the same super PAC that supports anti-abortion and pro-insurrection Republicans. And his rhetoric and positions reflect it: he’s staunchly anti-ceasefire, opposed to peaceful pro-Palestinian protests, and has made racist, Islamophobic claims about Jamaal and others.
He says he’s a Democrat who will take on MAGA, but his donations and actions say otherwise. Meanwhile, Jamaal has a proven record of standing up to far-right extremists and fighting for the people of NY-16 and our country as a whole.
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
