We at J Street are sad that Chairwoman Lowey will not seek re-election, but are delighted for her and her family as she completes a distinguished career in the House of Representatives. We are grateful for the Chairwoman’s lifelong championship of robust US diplomacy and aid, multilateral cooperation, a strong US-Israel relationship and for her leadership in the quest for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Her counsel and tireless work on these and so many other issues of importance to America’s place in the world will be missed.
