Friends,

Last night -- after battling against an unprecedented $3 million of AIPAC
and DMFI spending against her -- J Street-supported candidate Summer Lee
triumphed over her AIPAC-backed opponent in Pennsylvania’s 12th District.

She was one of several J Street-backed candidates who won on a night that
brought exciting wins and significant lessons for our movement.

The margin in Lee’s race was extremely close, just 446 votes at the most
recent count -- with that number likely to grow as final precincts are
tallied.

Every dollar and every phone call made a difference. Standing with a wide
range of allies, JStreetPAC and our new independent expenditures arm, the
J Street Action Fund, helped a principled candidate who supports
diplomacy-first American leadership triumph over AIPAC’s largest-ever
negative ad blitz.

In Oregon, J Street endorsee Andrea Salinas overcame an unbelievable $13
million in outside spending from billionaire-funded crypto SuperPACs. In
North Carolina and Pennsylvania, J Street-supported candidates Cheri
Beasley and John Fetterman advanced to the general election in
battleground states.

At the same time, we saw the devastating and ominous impact that AIPAC’s
overwhelming Democratic primary spending can have. In North Carolina’s 4th
district, conservative Don Davis defeated J Street endorsee Erica Smith
after AIPAC and their allies spent $2.9 million -- more than both leading
candidates’ campaigns combined.

We should take a moment to be proud of our victories, but we also need to
get to work. To overcome intensive right-wing attacks and keep electing
pro-Israel, pro-peace champions across the country, we need to mobilize
like never before.

Next Tuesday, J Street endorsee Jessica Cisneros faces off against
AIPAC-supported Congressman Henry Cuellar, who has faced heavy criticism
as the last anti-abortion Democrat in the House. We cannot afford to wake
up next Wednesday to find out we fell just a few votes short -- we have to
leave everything on the field.

These candidates are current and future champions who are likely to face a
deluge of right-wing spending and attacks. We cannot let groups like AIPAC
-- who simultaneously fundraise for extremist, Trump-aligned Republicans
-- decide the future of American politics and foreign policy. We cannot
let their right-wing, hawkish vision dominate the Democratic party and
threaten the future of Israelis and Palestinians.

As Summer Lee showed us last night: When we stand together, we can win.

National Political Director, J Street
