On Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas committed an act of terror that killed many and left 48 hostages still held two years later. We condemn that evil and commit to humanitarian relief for civilians, and to work to fight antisemitism and hate here at home. #Israel #October7th

You keep pushing us to do more, and we're going all in. The endorsements, each of each we will highlight over the coming days, are a diverse group of candidates committed to solving problems over scoring partisan points.
