Elections as a Strategy

In order to enact meaningful change to US policy, we need to elect leaders in Congress who are willing to fight for that change. Through JStreetPAC and the J Street Action Fund, we get involved in electoral races where our work can make a difference and help elect pro-Israel, pro-peace, and pro-democracy leaders to the House, Senate, and White House.

Election Successes

$50 million+

Since JStreetPAC’s founding in 2008, we’ve raised over $50 million dollars for endorsed candidates.

41

Since 2008, we’ve gone from endorsing 41 Members of Congress to a majority of Democrats in both chambers of Congress, a testament to our positioning within the mainstream of the Democratic Party.

95%

In 2024, 95% of JStreetPAC-endorsed incumbents won their elections. We distributed nearly $15 million to its endorsed candidates, our highest ever disbursement in an election cycle.

JStreetPAC

JStreetPAC endorses candidates who know that it’s possible to strongly support Israel’s security and the US-Israel relationship while also upholding human rights, international law and a vision of democracy, equality and peace.

Grassroots Organizing

J Street values long-term grassroots organizing and its critical role in turning out voters – ensuring that our elections reflect the principles and priorities of all citizens. In the 2024 cycle, J Street donors bundled tens of thousands of dollars for organizing efforts in key swing states.
