This week marked the 10th anniversary of that horrific day in Newtown, CT, when 20 children and 6 adults were killed within minutes at the Sandy Hook Elementary School. For those families, the anniversary is just one more reminder of the 3652 days they have been forced to face without their loved one. 

 

But the Sandy Hook community is not unique. Mass shootings in the U.S. have nearly tripled since 2013. These shootings have occurred at other schools and have also targeted the Jewish community, the LGTBQ community, and other minority groups.

 

Finally the 2022 election season has come to a close with the re-election of Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA). JAC was proud to play a role in that victory. We wrote postcards, raised money, phoned and texted voters. We even travelled to Georgia to knock on doors in critical Fulton county. 

 

We have barely settled the 2022 midterm election, but it seems that 2024 is already gearing up. So far there is nothing new. Donald Trump is once again stoking the flames of antisemitism, with help from his friend Kanye West and white supremacist Nick Fuentes.

 

At JAC, we are thankful that more than 80 JAC candidates will be part of the next Congress. We are grateful for your support which enabled us to send these champions of democracy to Washington.

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.

We have only 11 days to save our Democratic majority in the House. Today’s Candidate Spotlight focuses on several key House raises which include several challengers and one incumbent. Chris Deluzio (PA-17), Nikki Budzinski (IL-13), Seth Magaziner (RI-2), Eric Sorensen<

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.
