[ ]J Street [ ]
Friends --

The eight tightest Senate races in the country are all being fought by
proud, strong J Street endorsees.

The past two years have been an excruciating lesson in just how important
Senate victories are. From protecting our democracy to securing our
priorities, it’s vital that we protect and expand a pro-democracy majority
in 2022.

The good news? Polling averages currently show a dead heat or J Street
lead in every. single. race.

Below, we’ve listed those eight top races, including four proud incumbents
and four strong challengers.

Control of the Senate and the future of our democracy may hinge on whether
our endorsees have the resources they need to secure victory this
November.

To learn more about the pivotal work J Street members are doing in these
races, and to support our endorsees, you’ll need to sign up to become a J

[ [link removed] ]Learn more about Sen Catherine Cortez Masto.

Nevada is the most vulnerable, must-win seat in order to fortify the
Senate’s pro-democracy majority. A proud defender of human rights and
democratic values, Catherine Cortez Masto faces a white-knuckle challenge
from Trump endorsee and enthusiastic Big Lie supporter Adam Laxalt.

This top competitive race will likely attract vast sums from right-wing
mega-donors, so it’s vitally important that the Cortez Masto campaign has
the resources to fight back. Current polling averages reflect an extremely
tight race, with Laxalt lagging by just 1.6%.

[ [link removed] ]Learn more about Sen. Raphael Warnock here.

Raphael Warnock’s triumphant victory alongside Jon Ossoff in the Georgia
runoff elections helped secure Democratic control of the Senate in 2021.
After two years as a proud J Street champion, we need to ensure Warnock
holds the seat and keeps his dangerous, Trump-endorsed opponent as far
away from the Senate as possible.

A far-right extremist, Herschel Walker supports criminalizing abortion
without exception, has a record of lies and falsehoods rivaling even
Donald Trump, and has been accused of serious incidents of domestic
violence. Despite this, polling averages show Warnock holds only a narrow
lead -- 46.9% to 44.2% -- and will need a well-resourced campaign to win
in November.

[ [link removed] ]Learn more about Cheri Beasley here.

Former North Carolina Chief Justice Cheri Beasley is locked in a
neck-and-neck battle against Trump endorsee Ted Budd as the pair race to
replace retiring Republican Senator Richard Burr. In Congress, she’d be a
proud fighter for our values and a crucial extra vote in the Senate.

For more than two months, Beasley’s strong campaign has been closing the
gap and erasing her opponent’s early lead to the point where the polling
average is now 44% to 44%. J Street members are working to make sure this
momentum continues and that Beasley’s campaign has the resources to
overtake her opponent and flip the seat in November.

[ [link removed] ]Learn more about Mandela Barnes here.

Fresh off his primary victory in Wisconsin, Lt. Governor Mandela Barnes is
ramping up a strong challenge against incumbent Senator and election
conspiracy theorist Ron Johnson. With Barnes successfully positioning
himself as a fighter for democratic values and everyday Wisconsinites,
Senator Johnson remains engulfed in controversy. Recent polls currently
show Barnes with a slight edge over Johnson.

Senator Johnson has been accused of trafficking in the deadly, antisemitic
‘Great Replacement’ conspiracy theory and was a leading proponent of
Donald Trump’s Big Lie in the Senate. The House January 6 committee
recently revealed that Johnson’s chief of staff tried to deliver a slate
of fake Trump electors to Vice President Mike Pence. A victory for Barnes
will send a powerful message in support of Democracy and secure a crucial
extra vote in the Senate.

[ [link removed] ]Learn more about Congressman Tim Ryan here.

Congressman Tim Ryan is running an impressively strong Senate campaign in
the swing state of Ohio -- so much so that even Republicans have remarked
on it. The long-time J Street endorsee is running against JD Vance, an
unapologetic nationalist who’s come under fire for trafficking in the
dangerous, anti-immigrant, antisemitic ‘Great Replacement’ conspiracy
theory.

Keeping Vance out of Congress is a top priority for J Street. A true
believer in aligning US policy with the Israeli right, Vance recently took
time away from the campaign trail to travel to a right-wing conference in
Israel where he shared a stage with settlement-movement activists and
others who spoke in favor of annexation. Polls show Ryan has a 4.5% lead
over Vance, but in the increasingly red state of Ohio, he’ll need
sustained support to win the seat.

[ [link removed] ]Learn more about Sen. Maggie Hassan here.

Fortifying Senator Maggie Hassan’s seat in New Hampshire is a top priority
for our movement. Hassan is one of the four most vulnerable pro-democracy,
pro-diplomacy incumbents this cycle, with her current four-point lead
expected to narrow when Republicans select a challenger and begin pouring
resources into the race.

Likely opponents include Chuck Morse, Kevin Smith or Don Bolduc,
candidates who appear united in seeking to attack Americans’ freedoms and
undermine our democracy. J Street members are helping Senator Hassan
solidify her lead and ensure we keep a strong defender of diplomacy,
justice and human rights in the Senate.

[ [link removed] ]Learn more about Sen. Mark Kelly here.

Having won a special election with J Street’s strong support in 2020,
former astronaut Mark Kelly is again up for re-election. This time, Kelly
is facing off against Donald Trump’s hand-picked anti-democratic
candidate, Blake Masters.

Described as “King of the Trolls” by POLITICO, Masters is currently under
fire for his ties to the antisemitic, Christian nationalist GAB CEO Andrew
Torba. It’s vital we keep Masters out of Congress.

Married to former Congresswoman and gun-violence campaigner Gabby
Giffords, Mark Kelly has built a strong reputation in Arizona and
maintains an 11-point lead over Masters. J Street members are helping
Kelly solidify that lead, and ensuring Masters is kept out of Congress.

[ [link removed] ]Learn more about John Fetterman here.

Pennsylvania’s ​​Lt. Governor John Fetterman burst onto the scene as an
unconventional, working-class progressive earlier this year in the race to
replace retiring GOP Senator Pat Toomey. He’s facing off against faded TV
personality Mehmet Oz in one of the most closely watched Senate races in
the country.

After hammering Oz for being an out-of-touch, out-of-state celebrity
candidate, Fetterman is now running 11 points ahead at 49% to 38% making
this race one of the best opportunities for a flipped Senate seat in the
country. J Street members are supporting the Fetterman campaign so they
can keep up the momentum and continue to prosecute their successful
strategy right up until election day.
