For nearly 20 years Nancy Pelosi has served in various leadership roles in the House of Representatives. As the first and only woman to serve as Speaker of the U.S. House, she showed women they can and should have a powerful voice and a seat at the table.

 

Under her guidance, major legislation, such as the ACA, was passed that has impacted the lives of millions of Americans. Her dedication to our country and our democracy serves, and will continue to serve, as an inspiration to all. She paved the way for countless women to choose a career in public service.

These are frightening times to be Jewish in America, and even more so to be a student on a college campus. College should be a safe place for productive conversations about differing opinions. However, as antisemitism has invaded colleges across the country and my personal space, my campus has not been that place.

 

As a Junior at Northwestern University in Evanston, just 30 minutes outside of Chicago, I have seen antisemitic incidents on campus over the past three years.

A first-generation American, Dr. Yadira Caraveo is running for the newly drawn CO-8 district. This race gives Democrats an excellent chance to pick up a much-needed House seat to protect our narrow majority.

 

Yadira is no stranger to hard work and challenges. She grew up in Colorado after her parents left Mexico in search of a better life for their family. She learned from her family about hard work and sacrifice. Yadira will bring that strong work ethic to Congress.

 

 

An army veteran raised by a single mother, Sharice Davids’s life has been shaped by hard work. After working her way through college and law school as a first-generation college student, she went on to serve as a Fellow in President Obama’s White House. In 2019, she was elected to the House of Representatives to represent the third district of Kansas.

 

 

Since 2003, Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH) has been a champion for JAC’s issues in the United States House of Representatives, both in Ohio’s 13th district and then 17th after the 2010 redistricting process. Now, he’s eyeing a seat in the Senate to represent all of Ohio. Running against him is a conservative commentator and author trying to turn politician. We need to help Rep. Tim Ryan beat MAGA-backed J.D. Vance for Ohio’s Senate seat. Pitch in here.
