Friend —

Bend the Arc’s PAC has endorsed some incredible candidates who are ready to create a more just future for everyone in this country. But that’s not the only reason we’re working to help hold Democratic majorities in both the House and Senate in November.

White nationalism is at work in many of our priority races, and we’re out to stop it. Contribute to Bend the Arc PAC’s endorsed candidates to help defeat MAGA Republicans in the midterms:

White nationalism is a weapon that Republicans intentionally use to make voters feel afraid and stay divided. Here are three races where we're fighting to defeat white nationalism:

In Arizona, Senate candidate Blake Masters has praised the writings of far-right cult hero Ted Kaczynski and embraced the dangerous rhetoric of “great replacement” theory.¹ Masters has won the support of radical-right thought leader and antisemitic commenter Jack Posobiec as well as Andrew Torba, the CEO of the right-wing social media site Gab. Senator Mark Kelly is running for re-election against Masters and has our support.

In Nevada, Senate challenger Adam Laxalt has also bought into the “great replacement” theory, spewing dangerous fear-based rhetoric to rally his base.² Laxalt proudly touts his Trump endorsement, and has attacked the FBI for the raid at Trump’s home in Mar-A-Lago.³ Senator Catherine Cortez Masto is running for re-election against Laxalt and has our endorsement.

And in Ohio, Rep. Steve Chabot has been endorsed by Donald Trump after voting with the former president 95% of the time. Chabot has used racialized rhetoric against his opponents, including posting images from an antisemitic website⁴ and running a campaign ad so offensive that a coalition of leaders called on him to take it down.⁵ Greg Landsman is running to unseat Chabot in OH-01, and has our endorsement.

We’re working to power Sen. Mark Kelly, Sen. Catharine Cortez Masto, and Greg Landsman to victory — and defeat their MAGA Republican opponents this November. Rush a contribution right now in these three races:

November’s elections are an opportunity to put our values into practice, and we need you with us. Together we can continue mobilizing American Jews to build progressive power and create transformational change.

Onward,

Derek Pugh, Director
Bend the Arc Jewish Action PAC
