Reimagine what's possible in Congress. Chip in to help Jessica, Michele, and Christy win their competitive Democratic primaries.

Dear Friend,

It’s no longer enough to only win elections — we have to change who’s on the ballot so that winning leads to meaningful change.

Today, I'm thrilled to announce our endorsement of three visionary women running in competitive Democratic primaries where our resources can make the difference.

Please meet Jessica Cisneros (TX-28), Michele Rayner (FL-13), and Christy Smith (CA-27). 

Chip in to support our first slate of primary endorsees in Texas, Florida, and California — with your help, they’re going to expand what's possible in Congress.

When you give through our PAC, 100% of your gift goes directly to the candidates and demonstrates our priorities as Jews and allies

Here’s why these candidates are Bend the Arc’s choices for Congress:

In Texas, Jessica Cisneros is a bold immigration attorney running to unseat anti-choice, anti-labor incumbent Henry Cuellar in a competitive primary runoff that’s less than a month away.

In Florida, Michele Rayner is the first openly queer Black member of the Florida state legislature. Raised by parents in the Civil Rights Movement, Michele knows that “our lives depend on who we elect to office.”

In California, former Assemblywoman Christy Smith is a dedicated public servant, education advocate, and champion of worker’s rights. She has one of the best opportunities to flip a seat from red to blue in a rematch against GOP Rep. Mike Garcia that she only lost by 333 votes last cycle.

Give today to help Jessica, Michele, and Christy win their primaries so they can set the terms for the midterms.

With energy and excitement,

Derek Pugh, Director
Bend the Arc Jewish Action PAC

PS: This week is our PAC’s anniversary! For seven years, we’ve been demonstrating that American Jews care deeply about a fair and just United States. Chip in today to Jessica, Michele, and Christy to help them win their competitive primaries.
