The Republican Jewish Coalition has endorsed eight candidates who are running against House incumbents.
The “standout” challengers are Gabe Evans (Colorado-8), Austin Theriault (Maine-2), Yvette Herrell (New Mexico-2), Laurie Buckhout (North Carolina-1), Derek Merrin (Ohio-9), Kevin Coughlin (Ohio-13), Ryan Mackenzie (Pennsylvania-7) and Rob Bresnahan (Pennsylvania-8).
“There is a stark distinction between the agendas of House Democrats versus House Republicans when it comes to the concerns of Jewish Americans,” Norm Coleman and Matt Brooks, national chairman and CEO respectively of the RJC, said last week.
“Republicans will continue an aggressive investigation into antisemitism on college campuses. Democrats will shut the investigation down,” the duo stated. “Republicans will continue to insist on putting additional pressure on the Iranian regime, while Democrats will continue to be tongue-tied over Iran’s role in destabilizing the Middle East through its terrorist proxies like Hamas and Hezbollah.
“Republicans will stand with Israel in its self-defense efforts—including by banning U.S. aid to Hamas’s abettors UNRWA—while Democrats will continue to undermine the Jewish state and restore UNRWA funding without meaningful accountability,” they said.
