Political Update
Dear A.,
Once again, the pro-Israel community demonstrated that we can make a difference in critical congressional campaigns.
On Tuesday night, three more AIPAC-backed candidates won their Democratic primary elections.
Pro-Israel Democrat Rep. Henry Cuellar defeated his Bernie Sanders, AOC and J Street-backed opponent. Rep. Lucy McBath defeated her J Street-backed opponent. And Rep. David Scott defeated his Bernie Sanders-backed opponent.
In the past month, we’ve helped elect seven pro-Israel Democrats in key primary races!
I want to thank you for your leadership and support of our long-term political fight to keep Congress pro-Israel.
Wishing you and your family a happy Memorial Day as we remember and honor the sacrifices of those who gave their life for our country.
Have a great weekend,
Marilyn Rosenthal
AIPAC PAC Director
