For the first time in history, we’re marshaling the political resources of the Jewish community on behalf of the progressive domestic policies that actually motivate American Jews at the polls. In doing so, we’re proving that candidates who seek our community’s support must boldly speak out for progressive change here at home. As we move into our fourth election cycle, we’re building on our proven track record of success and mobilizing the American Jewish community to defeat Trumpism, build a vibrant multiracial democracy, and create lasting change.
If you’re running for federal office and seeking our endorsement, please read our strategy below and then contact us to request our questionnaire.
1. Push Trumpism to the Margins and Defeat Down Ballot Republicans:
2. Build a vibrant multiracial democracy:
3. Create lasting change:
How we’ll do it:
Our PAC is focused on supporting candidates in some of the most critical races and states in the country: in places that have implications up and down the ballot, from Presidential battleground states, key House seats to defend or flip, and states that could determine the balance of power in the Senate.
Tactics:
Endorsement Criteria:
Bend the Arc Jewish Action PAC supports both current Members of Congress and those challenging incumbents for federal office. Candidates are evaluated based on their track record and positions championing issues including voting rights, criminal justice reform, reproductive rights, LGBTQ rights, racial justice, economic justice, and immigrant justice. We are especially interested in candidates that are willing to take risks to do what is right, that are effective in championing progressive policies, and/or whose races are strategic and important in shifting the balance of power in the House or Senate.
Crowded Primaries:
Bend the Arc Jewish Action PAC does not generally engage in primary races. While some primaries are appealing, the risk of getting involved frequently outweighs the reward. However, there are occasional instances where engaging in a primary is the correct move for the organization.
Involvement in Non-Federal Races:
Bend the Arc Jewish Action PAC only supports candidates for federal office and does not get involved in state and local elections.
Endorsement Process:
Bend the Arc Jewish Action PAC will begin considering federal candidates for the 2022 election cycle in January 2021.
We have two goals for 2022: preserve Democratic majorities in the House and Senate and build a deeper bench of progressive champions in Congress fighting for and alongside us in the halls of power.
