Results of the 2012 Election for JACPAC-supported Candidates

Congratulations to President Obama and to our JAC-supported friends in Congress.  Thank  you to JAC members for your involvement in this election.  Without your help, we would not have made gains in the Senate and held the line in the House.
 
So much was at stake in this election - the US Supreme Court, reproductive rights, health reform, contraception, climate change, the economy, the deficit, immigration, jobs, voting rights, the shrinking middle class, racial & gender equality, and the social safety net.
 
JAC offers our warmest good wishes to our new Senators-elect:
We welcome back to the Senate the following returning JAC-friends:
JAC-Supported hopefuls who were defeated included Richard Carmona (AZ), Bob Kerrey (NE), and longtime JAC friend Shelley Berkley (NV).

 * These candidates served previously in the House of Representatives and have been elected again.
