BRIEFING ROOM

As we start focusing our efforts on 2026 and Democratic primary races are drawing near, JAC is proud to support a diverse slate of candidates: Rep. Angie Craig (MN) for Senate, Rep. Pat Ryan (NY-18), Rep. Maggie Goodlander (NH-2), and Daniel Hernandez in the AZ-7 special election. Each candidate is championing distinct yet vital issues that can shape a more inclusive and representative future for our country. 

Rep. Angie Craig overcame significant adversity, raised by a single mom in a mobile home park, to become the first LGBTQ+ person elected to Congress from Minnesota. A proven bipartisan leader and consistent JAC ally, Craig now faces far-left-leaning Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan in a competitive Senate primary. She had our back in the House, now let’s support her run for Senate. Click here to donate.

Elected in 2022, Rep. Pat Ryan is the first West Point graduate to represent the Academy in the U.S. House of Representatives. With a proven track record in Congress, he continues to uplift women’s rights and fight for common-sense gun reform. Pat Ryan’s district was a frontline race in 2024 and is a swing district again, making him vulnerable in his upcoming reelection campaign. Show your support for Pat Ryan by donating here.

An experienced government official, Rep. Maggie Goodlander, was a former senior advisor in the Biden administration and served as counsel to the House Judiciary Committee when the House voted to impeach Trump in late 2019. While in Congress, Goodlander has advocated for fair elections, protecting the right to vote, and protecting women’s right to reproductive healthcare. In her upcoming campaign, Goodlander’s extreme GOP opponent opposes gun reform. Support Rep. Maggie Goodlander here by donating to her campaign.

Last but certainly not least, congressional hopeful Daniel Hernandez is running in the AZ-7 special election to increase gun violence prevention efforts, protect LGBTQ+ rights on a national level, and will stand with the Jewish people and the state of Israel every step of the way. Now more than ever, with threats from the far left, it is critically important that we support candidates running for office who support Israel and will fight antisemitism. Hernandez powerfully encapsulates JACPAC and our values. Consider showing your support for Daniel Hernandez by donating to his campaign.
