With so many races on a knife-edge, every vote matters and every dollar makes a difference. Please consider signing up to JStreetPAC to be a part of this work today. Thank you, sincerely, for your support. Tali deGroot Ilya Braverman National Political Director, JStreetPAC --------------------------------------------------------------- [Join JStreetPAC to learn more about Kirsten Engel]( Environmental Law professor Kirsten Engel surprised pundits in 2020 by coming within 1.5% of defeating AIPAC-backed Juan Ciscomani. A former state legislator, Engel has a reputation as a strong campaigner and pragmatic leader. Now, she’s headed for a rematch in this Biden district which the DCCC ranks as one of its top red-to-blue pickup opportunities. She’s up against Trump endorsee Juan Ciscomani, who will struggle to defend his MAGA ties and votes to slash funds to reproductive healthcare, public education and veteran benefits. Savvy donors should take note: Every pro-democracy voter Kirsten Engel’s campaign turns out will count threefold in this presidential swing-state which is also host to a competitive Senate race to replace Senator Kyrsten Sinema. [Join JStreetPAC to help our community ensure candidates like Kirsten Engel have the resources they need to win >>]( [Join JStreetPAC to learn more about Derek Tran]( The son of Vietnamese refugees, Derek Tran’s family history grounds his commitment to compassionate, working-class, values-driven leadership. An army veteran and consumer-rights advocate, Tran presents a compelling contrast with far-right incumbent Michelle Steel in this Biden-district pickup opportunity. Steel – a close Trump ally and AIPAC endorsee – will face a tough race this cycle. While the congresswoman will struggle to defend repeated votes for nationwide abortion bans, she is backed by deep-pocketed donors who will keep this race competitive. [Join JStreetPAC to ensure candidates like Derek Tran have the resources they need to win >>]( [Join JStreetPAC to learn more about Kristen McDonald Rivet]( State Senator Kristen McDonald Rivet is running to replace retiring J Street champion Dan Kildee in Michigan's highly competitive 8th district – one of just two open seats rated "toss-up" by the Cook Political Report. Every pro-democracy voter McDonald Rivet’s campaign turns out will count threefold: Michigan is also a critical battleground state for President Biden and will also host a competitive senate race to replace retiring Senator Debbie Stabenow. In the State Senate, McDonald Rivet led the charge to pass the largest tax cut for working families in state history, repealed the 1931 abortion ban and introduced a plan to address the growing childcare crisis. Polls show she is in a close race with Trump-ally and likely Republican nominee Paul Junge, who is now making his third run for Congress. On Monday, July 1, at 6pm Eastern, JStreetPAC will hold a virtual fundraiser with McDonald Rivet and two other priority candidates – Lanon Baccam (IA-3) and Tony Vargas (NE-2). All JStreetPAC donors qualify for an invitation to July’s reception – one of the many events JStreetPAC members are invited to. [Join JStreetPAC to help candidates like Kristen McDonald Rivet win their races >>]( [Join JStreetPAC to learn more about Lanon Baccam]( Fresh off his commanding primary victory this week, Lanon Baccam will face off in November against AIPAC endorsee and Trump ally Zach Nunn. As a veteran and former Department of Agriculture official, Baccam is well placed to challenge the first-term, anti-choice MAGA congressman in this competitive district. On Monday, July 1, at 6pm Eastern, JStreetPAC will hold a virtual fundraiser with Baccam and two other priority candidates – Kristen McDonald Rivet (MI-8) and Tony Vargas (NE-2). All JStreetPAC donors to Baccam’s campaign qualify for an invitation to July’s reception. [Join JStreetPAC to help candidates like Lanon Baccam win in November >>]( [Join JStreetPAC to learn more about Mondaire Jones]( Raised in Section 8 housing in Rockland County by a single mother, Mondaire Jones was a progressive rising star after his 2020 election, only to lose his seat in the messy New York 2022 redistricting saga. Now, JStreetPAC is thrilled to support Jones’ bid to return to Congress. A close ally of J Street who has visited Israel and the West Bank, Jones has staked out bold and thoughtful positions rooted in his deep commitment to humanity. With the Cook Political Report ranking NY-17 a toss-up race, this counts as a must-win district for a restored pro-democracy majority. Jones faces off against anti-choice AIPAC endorsee Mike Lawler, who now faces a tough re-election fight after just one term in Congress. [Join JStreetPAC to support candidates like Mondaire Jones >>]( [Join JStreetPAC to learn more about Tony Vargas]( JStreetPAC is proud to once again support Tony Vargas in a race that could determine the House majority. The overwhelmingly popular state legislator narrowly lost the race for NE-2 two years ago by just 6,000 votes. His 2024 rematch again pits him against never-Trumper turned Trump loyalist Don Bacon, an AIPAC champion who has repeatedly co-sponsored legislation to ban abortion with no exceptions for rape, incest or the life of the mother. Vargas’ lead in some polls has Bacon starting to feel the heat. His campaign has been quietly deleting his anti-abortion endorsements and big-money conservative groups rushed into the race to help defend him from a primary challenger. On Monday, July 1, at 6pm Eastern, JStreetPAC will hold a virtual fundraiser with Tony Vargas and two other priority candidates – Lanon Baccam (IA-3) and Kristen McDonald Rivet (MI-8). JStreetPAC donors qualify for an invitation to July’s reception.
