Democratic Senate candidate Dr. Annie Andrews delivers her victory speech at her Election Night party in Charleston, S.C., on Tuesday, November 3, 2026.

Last week’s midterm “blue tsunami” swept a slew of largely unknown Democratic candidates into office, elevating politicians around the country who were barely on the radar of Democratic leaders — no less in the local and national press. 

Moderates in the House are hopeful that the wave of red-district Democrats will help serve as a bulwark against the growing ranks of the far left in the conference, insulating Democratic leadership and the conference as a whole from far-left pressure and preventing extremists from holding the conference hostage to their priority issues. 

But even though many of the new members hail from Republican districts, not all are moderates. Some of the long-shot Democratic candidates who won shocking upsets without support from the party — a handful of whom are from the far-left wing of the party — may end up acting unpredictably in Congress. 

The new cohort of lawmakers varies widely on Israel policy issues — a handful come in with hard-line anti-Israel stances, while many others seem to support a continued U.S.-Israel relationship in some form, potentially with new conditions on or scrutiny of U.S. aid. And some others, especially those backed by the Democratic Majority for Israel, have been consistent champions of a strong U.S.-Israel relationship.  

Among the class of Democratic freshmen are 16 Democratic Majority for Israel endorsees, as well as 44 endorsed by J Street and 44 endorsed by the Jewish Democratic Council of America, with a handful of races not yet called. Just one TrackAIPAC endorsee flipped a red district.

Given continued support for Israel among Republicans, the conservative tilt of some of the flipped districts could push at least some of the newly elected Democrats to take more moderate stances on Israel. But a notable number of these Democrats hold much chillier views towards the U.S.-Israel relationship than their predecessors. 

Brian Romick, the CEO of DMFI, said that many of the newcomers’ relative lack of exposure to Israel and foreign policy is a “huge opportunity.”

“A lot of these candidates didn’t really grapple with Israel on their campaigns other than what they saw on Twitter,” Romick said. “And now they’re actually going to have real-life experience with policy advisors and committee hearings. I think it’s going to be a great opportunity to teach them about the U.S.-Israel relationship and help them learn and think about these issues thoughtfully.”

He also emphasized that the “majority is won in moderate districts” and that the composition of the caucus will push it overall toward moderate, mainstream positions. He also noted that Democrats running for the Senate who leaned into anti-Israel positions performed worse than colleagues who did not play up the issue.

J Street President Jeremy Ben-Ami said that the results of the midterms were a “resounding victory for the politics J Street has championed since our founding” and a clear message that the American people want “a different direction” on Middle East policy.

He also claimed that, with a majority of Democrats in both chambers carrying the organization’s endorsement, “J Street is now the center of the Democratic Party’s approach to Israel and Palestine.”

We took a look at the incoming Democratic lawmakers who we haven’t covered before — some of whom came out of nowhere to win key races — and what we know about their views on Israel and issues of interest to the Jewish community. (We also included several Democrats whose races haven’t yet been called, but who are holding narrow leads with most votes counted.)

SENATE

Annie Andrews (South Carolina): Andrews, a pediatrician who ran unsuccessfully for Congress in 2022, has been at the opposite side of foreign policy issues than the senator she’s succeeding, the late Sen Lindsey Graham (R-SC). She described the U.S. war in Iran as “Lindsey Graham’s war” and vowed to “think about South Carolina first, not Israel,” in the immediate aftermath of the Iran war in February. 

On Israel, Andrews has said she supports a two-state solution and that Israelis and Palestinians “deserve to live in peace.” During a recent debate, she said: “What is happening in the region is devastating, it is a humanitarian crisis and as a mother and a pediatrician, I will not sit by and watch. We need to find an expedited path to peace.” Andrews, who has said she won’t support Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) as party leader, was endorsed by the Jewish Democratic Council of America. 

Scott Colom (Mississippi): Colom, a local Mississippi district attorney and former district judge nominee, narrowly leads in Mississippi. If he holds on, he would be the first Democratic senator in the state since segregationist John Stennis, who was first elected to the Senate in 1947. But despite running in a ruby red state, Colom didn’t sound like a strong supporter of the U.S.-Israel alliance. Speaking at a campaign event earlier this year, he boasted that he was the only candidate in the race not “beholden to the pro-Israel lobby,” and hit Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MS) for receiving donations from AIPAC.  

HOUSE

ARIZONA

JoAnna Mendoza (Arizona’s 6th District): Mendoza, a former Marine, beat Rep. Juan Ciscomani (R-AZ) in a battleground district around Tucson. She was endorsed by JDCA, which said she had “affirmed her commitment to Israel’s security and a negotiated two-state solution, emphasizing Israel’s right to defend itself while supporting humanitarian aid and the development of a democratic Palestinian civil society that rejects terrorist organizations.” On the third anniversary of the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attacks, she said, “We recommit ourselves to confronting terrorism, fighting antisemitism, and rejecting hatred in all its forms.” She condemned an antisemitic incident in Tucson last year while acknowledging that antisemitism was rising around the world. . 

CALIFORNIA

Mike McGuire (California’s 1st District): McGuire, who defeated Rep. James Gallagher (R-CA), is a senior member of the California state Senate, having previously served as president pro tempore and majority leader. In the state Senate, he supported numerous priority bills for state Jewish leaders to combat antisemitism and protect Jewish institutions in recent years. J Street endorsed McGuire and the California Jewish Democrats offered “strong support” for him. He condemned the Oct. 7 attacks and offered his support for the remaining hostages on the first anniversary of the attack. He also reposted a statement by then-President Joe Biden in April 2024 condemning Iranian attacks on Israel.

Eric Jones (California’s 4th District): Jones, a nonprofit executive and former venture capitalist, is leading incumbent Rep. Mike Thompson (D-CA) with around half of the vote counted. Jones ran on what he described as an “anti-establishment” platform focused on combating corruption and cost of living concerns. Jones’ campaign website states that he will vote to “end U.S. funding of unnecessary foreign wars” and “will not vote to enable mass killings, apartheid, or the collective punishment of innocent people — not for anyone, and not just because an ally asks it of us,” his website states. Despite refusing to accept AIPAC support or any corporate PAC money, Jones has distanced himself from the Democratic Socialists of America, of which he is not a member, and rejected efforts to label him as a progressive. 

Richard Pan (California’s 6th District): Pan, who defeated Rep. Kevin Kiley (I-CA), is a former state senator and pediatrician. Pan said during the campaign that Israel has a right to exist and defend itself, but refused to say directly, when pressed by Kiley, whether Israel had committed genocide in Gaza. He has condemned both the Oct. 7 attacks and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. He was endorsed by J Street and supported by the California Jewish Democrats.

Jacqui Irwin (California’s 26th District): Irwin, who will be succeeding retiring Rep. Julia Brownley (D-CA), is a member of the California State Assembly and previously a mayor and city council member in Thousand Oaks. She is a member of the California Legislative Jewish Caucus, through which she joined a letter speaking out against antisemitism following the Oct. 7 attacks, and urging legislative efforts to combat antisemitism on campuses and supporting security grants. 

Hilda Solis (California’ 38th District): Solis will be returning to Congress after stints as former President Barack Obama’s secretary of labor and, most recently, as a member of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. She maintained a pro-Israel record while in Congress between 2001 and 2009, but rarely addressed the issue on the campaign trail in 2026. The California Jewish Democrats offered “strong support” for Solis. She also joined a 2025 Hanukkah celebration with the Jewish Federation of Los Angeles. 

COLORADO

Eileen Laubacher (Colorado’s 4th District): Laubacher would be one of the more surprising incoming members of Congress, as she narrowly leads Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) in a solidly Republican district. Laubacher is a retired Navy rear admiral who served on the National Security Council in the Biden administration as senior director for South Asia. Even though Boebert’s district is solidly Republican, both the ousted congresswoman and Laubacher have called for cutting aid to Israel. Laubacher said the U.S. should end taxpayer-funded aid to Israel because “Israel has the ability to pay for their own weapons for defense,” but could continue to sell weapons on a “case-by-case basis.” She condemned the attack on Temple Israel in Michigan and on a hostage awareness march in Boulder, Colo., saying, “Anti-semitism is a scourge and hate-fueled violence and division has no place in Colorado.”

Jessica Killin (Colorado’s 5th District): Killin, who defeated Rep. Jeff Crank (R-CO), was a captain in the Army and later served as chief of staff to former Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, who made fighting antisemitism a core part of his portfolio. Killin said that Israel should not receive a blank check for U.S. aid and does not believe that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has Israeli or Palestinian best interests at heart. She said that she supports a two-state solution but does not see it as achievable with Netanyahu or Hamas still in power. She was endorsed by JDCA.

FLORIDA

Pia Dandiya (Florida’s 22nd Congressional District): Dandiya is a former White House fellow, high school principal and Apple executive who won an open seat — with a sizable Jewish constituency — that had been redrawn to favor Republicans. Dandiya said during a local Jewish Democratic forum, “Unequivocally, I believe that Israel has the right to exist as a Jewish state, that there is absolutely no room for antisemitism in our country and in our politics, and I want to be a part of a new generation of Democratic leaders who are going to be allies to the community and have a steady hand.” She said in a candidate forum that standing up to antisemitism is “really core part of how we represent our values in this political moment as a Democratic Party.” Dandiya, who is the first Indian-American elected to Florida’s congressional delegation, was endorsed by Democratic Majority for Israel and JDCA.

Oliver Gilbert (Florida’s 24th District): Gilbert is an attorney, Miami-Dade county commissioner and former Miami Gardens mayor. He was endorsed by the outgoing pro-Israel incumbent Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-FL), as well as by JDCA, which said that he supports continued aid to Israel without cuts or conditions and continued support for cooperative missile-defense programs, as well as humanitarian aid for Palestinians. He voted in September for a measure that would allow increased county investments in Israel bonds and in October 2024 for a measure condemning antisemitism. He also championed an initiative to bring an Israeli water generation company to Miami Gardens.

GEORGIA

Jasmine Clark (Georgia’s 13th District): Clark is a state representative and lecturer in microbiology at Emory University, filling a seat vacated following the death of Rep. David Scott (D-GA) and currently held by Rep. Everton Blair (D-GA). She was endorsed by JDCA, which noted that she had condemned the Oct. 7 attacks and spoke out against antisemitism, as well as by J Street. She opposed a Georgia bill codifying the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s working definition of antisemitism in the state.

ILLINOIS

Patty Garcia (Illinois 4th District): Garcia was the chief of staff to outgoing Rep. Chuy Garcia (D-IL), who functionally installed her as his replacement in a widely criticized move. Garcia, who is not related to her former boss, is endorsed by TrackAIPAC and likely to follow the outgoing lawmaker’s anti-Israel record on the Hill.

INDIANA

J.D. Ford (Indiana’s 5th District): Ford, an Indiana state senator and the state’s first openly gay member of Congress, unseated Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-IN), running on a platform focused on combating inflation and rising healthcare costs. Ford has been critical of the U.S. war in Iran and did not receive support from AIPAC or other pro-Israel PACs during the race, though he does not highlight any foreign policy positions on his campaign website and primarily focused his messaging around domestic issues. Ford co-authored a state Senate resolution in March 2020 condemning the rise of antisemitism, which highlighted the growing number of local antisemitic incidents, and has publicly condemned the spread of antisemitism on several occasions in recent years. 

IOWA

Lindsey James (Iowa’s 2nd District): James, a Presbyterian minister, is a member of the Iowa House of Representatives, serving as the minority whip. She will fill the district currently represented by outgoing Rep. Ashley Hinson (R-IA). James, who was endorsed by J Street, does not appear to have spoken publicly about Israel policy, but has called for an end to the war in Iran.

KENTUCKY

Zach Dembo (Kentucky’s 6th District): Dembo is a former federal prosecutor and Navy judge advocate general and will succeed Sen.-elect Andy Barr (R-KY). His father was Jewish and grew up on Long Island, before moving to Kentucky and marrying a ninth-generation Kentuckian. “He raised me with the core Jewish values of human dignity, justice, kindness, truth and making the world a better place,” Dembo said of his father in April. He told the Lexington Herald Leader he supports Israel’s existence as a Jewish state and its status as one of the U.S.’ “vital allies,” though he said he does not support “blank checks for Netanyahu’s regime with no accountability.” He rejected charges of genocide against Israel. He was endorsed by JDCA and J Street.

MASSACHUSETTS

Dan Koh (Massachusetts’ 6th District): Koh served in the White House under President Joe Biden, after serving as a member of the Andover, Mass., Board of Selectmen. He will succeed Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA), who mounted a failed Senate bid this cycle. In 2018, Koh ran for Congress, losing to Rep. Lori Trahan (D-MA) by 145 votes. Koh, a Lebanese-Korean American, said that he has family in a village in southern Lebanon and said the “fear, uncertainty, and loss of innocent life we’re seeing across the region is horrifying.” He condemned the “devastating” war in Gaza, emphasizing the need to ensure “that our laws are upheld and enforced.” He has said Israel has a right to defend itself but that a two-state solution is necessary. He has also condemned antisemitism in the United States, an issue he worked on in the Biden White House.

MICHIGAN

Sean McCann (Michigan’s 4th District): McCann is a Michigan state senator and former state representative who defeated Rep. Bill Huizenga (R-MI). He declined during the campaign to say whether he would vote to withhold aid to Israel but said Congress must put the U.S. policy toward Israel under a “microscope” and “hold the Netanyahu regime accountable for its actions,” adding that he’s “very concerned about the Netanyahu government’s conduct in Israel, conduct that’s been supported by the Trump administration and a Congress that basically rubber-stamps Trump’s foreign policy.”

Christina Hines (Michigan’s 10th District): Hines is a career prosecutor who specialized in cases involving sexual abuse and human trafficking. She will fill the seat represented by retiring Rep. John James (R-MI). Hines was strongly backed by local Jewish Democratic leaders and fundraisers in the state, including prominent supporters of Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI), and was endorsed by DMFI, JDCA and the Michigan Jewish Democrats, but doesn’t appear to have made public comments on Israel policy.

MINNESOTA

Jake Johnson (Minnesota’s 1st District): Johnson is a former math teacher and union organizer who is narrowly leading Rep. Brad Finstad (R-MN) with 99% of votes counted. Johnson was endorsed by JDCA, which said he would support continued defensive aid to Israel, and expressed a commitment to fighting antisemitism and white nationalism. He said at a candidate forum that he would support withholding offensive aid to Israel to halt operations in Gaza, but also said, “we need allies and we have an ally in Israel.” He was also endorsed by J Street.

MISSOURI

Fred Wellman (Missouri’s 2nd District): Wellman is a retired Army officer who defeated incumbent Rep. Ann Wagner (R-MO), the seven-term lawmaker who was supported by AIPAC, was a senior member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and a co-chair of the Abraham Accords Caucus. Wellman was endorsed by J Street. His campaign website describes Hamas as a terrorist organization and condemns the Oct. 7 attacks, accusing the group of committing “atrocities and war crimes.” He also accuses Israel of committing war crimes in Gaza and says he believes the U.S. “must ensure that our military assistance is used in accordance with American and international law.” Wellman supports the Block the Bombs Act, the West Bank Violence Prevention Act and “enforcement of the Leahy Law.”

NEW JERSEY

Zach Mullock (New Jersey’s 2nd District): Mullock, the mayor of Cape May, N.J., defeated Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ), who was initially elected as a Democrat and switched parties in 2019 while pledging loyalty to President Donald Trump. Mullock said that Israel is an “important ally” and the U.S. “should remain committed to Israel’s security and to protecting innocent people from terrorism,” but also “speak honestly” about humanitarian issues for Palestinians. He said the U.S. should pursue a policy that ensures security for Israel and “safety, dignity, humanitarian assistance and a future of their own” for Palestinians.

NORTH CAROLINA

Chuck Hubbard (North Carolina’s 5th District): Hubbard is a former newspaper reporter who also ran in 2024 against Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC), the former House Education Committee chair who made fighting antisemitism on campuses a major priority. Hubbard narrowly leads Foxx with 99% of votes counted. He said Thursday that the U.S. will “have to find a way to exert some control on Netanyahu.” In 2024, he criticized North Carolina GOP gubernatorial nominee Mark Robinson for antisemitic rhetoric.

Cyril Jefferson (North Carolina’s 6th District): Jefferson, the mayor of High Point, N.C., is a nonprofit consultant who served as a Biden campaign organizer in 2024 and has been described by local media as a moderate. He defeated Rep. Addison McDowell (R-NC). He said Israel is a “longstanding democratic ally, and the U.S. has an important commitment to its security,” and said he supports security assistance “conditioned on adherence to humanitarian standards.” He supports a two-state solution. He is a member of the Combat Antisemitism Movement’s mayoral network and strongly condemned the antisemitic attacks in Boulder, Colo., and West Bloomfield, Mich.

Jamie Ager (North Carolina’s 11th District): Ager, a farmer, flipped the district currently held by Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-NC), who dropped his reelection bid after being censured for inappropriate conduct toward young female staff. Ager said during the campaign, “I don’t take a dime of money from corporate PACs or foreign lobbying entities like AIPAC,” but largely dodged questions on Israel, according to local media. He signed the centrist Promise to America pledge promoted by a series of moderate Democrats and was endorsed by the Blue Dog PAC.

Richard Ojeda (North Carolina’s 9th District): Ojeda is a former Army major who served for two years as a state senator in West Virginia, and later ran a brief long-shot 2020 presidential campaign. He defeated Rep. Richard Hudson (R-NC), who ran the House GOP’s campaign arm. Ojeda’s campaign team shared an ad from Rebellion PAC, the same group responsible for an antisemitic ad boosting Sen.-elect Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan, that described Hudson as “Israel’s pet” doing the bidding of Israeli government and “Israeli lobby” and putting U.S. troops in harm’s way on behalf of Israel. He also described Hudson as “sold out to AIPAC,” opposed U.S. aid to Israel and shared a graphic from TrackAIPAC criticizing Hudson.

Paul Barringer (North Carolina’s 13th District): Barringer is an attorney and former Republican who unseated Rep. Brad Knott (R-NC), the freshman leading a federal bill for buffer zones around religious institutions. He does not appear to have spoken out publicly about Israel policy or antisemitism but said he believes in strong relationships with allies based on “based on mutual respect, shared values, and free, fair trade” without “cozy[ing] up to dictatorships or authoritarian regimes that undermine human rights, freedom, and the rule.”

LaKesha Womack (North Carolina’s 14th District): Womack, an ordained minister and business consultant, defeated Rep. Tim Moore (R-NC) despite being massively outraised by Moore in a district he drew as a state House leader for himself. She was indicted earlier this year on felony charges for failing to return a rental car. She also has sounded skeptical of the U.S.-Israel relationship, telling Axios that “any aid we provide domestically or internationally should have conditions.” Womack, in X posts in 2023 and 2024, indicated skepticism of the Israel, writing in November 2023, “Serious question… if the Palestinians move to South Gaza, will they be able to move back to North Gaza once the ‘war’ is over or does that land belong to Israel? And… if Hamas is in tunnels how does bombing buildings above ground help?” She also said that “terrorism and antisemitism are wrong full stop but let’s not pretend Israel is totally innocent.”

OHIO

Kristina Knickerbocker (Ohio’s 10th District): Knickerbocker is a nurse and Air Force veteran who defeated Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH), the former House Intelligence Committee chair and a leading GOP voice for U.S. engagement abroad. She does not appear to have spoken publicly about U.S.-Israel relations. She opposed the war in Iran, calling it illegal and pointing to rising costs linked to the war.

Don Leonard (Ohio’s 15th District): Leonard is a former Ohio State University professor who defeated Rep. Mike Carey (R-OH). Leonard was endorsed by TrackAIPAC, which stated that he supports a full arms embargo on Israel and describes the war in Gaza as a genocide, as well as by the Council on American-Islamic Relations, which spent around $10,000 on text messaging in support of his campaign. He also said that those who do not believe that Israel has committed genocide should not be in Congress. His campaign site states that the U.S. should not be “drawn into dumb wars with bad allies.”

SOUTH CAROLINA

Nancy Lacore (South Carolina’s 1st District): Lacore is a retired Navy vice admiral and former chief of the Navy Reserve who was fired from her position by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth without explanation. She leads the race to succeed retiring Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) with 99% of the vote counted. Lacore has criticized what she described as the administration’s politicization of national security and the war in Iran. She does not appear to have spoken publicly about Israel policy.

TENNESSEE

Victoria Broderick (Tennessee’s 4th District): Broderick is a former county chair of Lincoln County, Tenn., and a member of the Tennessee Democratic Party executive committee. She is narrowly leading Rep. Scott DesJarlais (R-TN), with 99% of votes counted, after losing to him by nearly 50 points in 2024. Broderick said that the war in Gaza is a genocide and described it as “disproportionate to what happened to Israel.” She said the U.S. should support and protect its allies but also “hold them accountable.” She continued, “We can say, if you guys want funding, humanitarian efforts have to go in, and if they don’t, you don’t get that funding.”

TEXAS

Leticia Gutierrez (Texas’ 9th District): Gutierrez is an environmental justice advocate who will represent a newly drawn district, despite being substantially outraised by her Republican opponent. Gutierrez described Israel as “an important U.S. partner in a strategically vital region” and said cooperation serves the U.S. “But friendship should never mean a blank check. U.S. policy should promote Israel’s security while also protecting civilian life, upholding international law, supporting Palestinian dignity and self-determination, and pursuing a lasting peace,” she continued.

Bobby Pulido (Texas’ 15th District): Pulido is an award-winning Tejano musician and actor who defeated Rep. Monica De La Cruz (R-TX). Pulido was endorsed by DMFI, J Street and JDCA. When asked whether the U.S. should impose an arms embargo on Israel, he said: “I don’t have as much information that a congressman is privy to,” Pulido said. “I just wish there was peace between the two, and I feel like I blame this administration for not being strong-willed enough.”

UTAH

Ben McAdams (Utah’s 4th District): McAdams represented a moderate district in Utah from 2019 to 2021 before losing his seat to redistricting. He is now running in a newly drawn district. Following the election, he said that Israel is “an important ally” but that the “Netanyahu regime” has caused “suffering” for “so many people.” He said the U.S. should prioritize humanitarian aid and pressure Israel to end the “atrocities that have been happening in Gaza.” He was endorsed by JDCA, which highlighted that he has described combating antisemitism as a collective responsibility for all people.

VIRGINIA

Shannon Taylor (Virginia’s 1st District): Taylor, a moderate Democrat, is the longtime lead prosecutor in Henrico County, Va., and former candidate for state attorney general. She defeated Rep. Rob Wittman (R-VA), who was expected to be the top Republican on the House Armed Services Committee. Taylor prosecuted a Ku Klux Klan leader for a violent attack on peaceful protesters in 2020. She has issued annual statements recognizing the anniversary of the Oct. 7 attacks, saying this October, “Three years ago today, Hamas terrorists murdered nearly 1,200 people in Israel. This is the first October 7 with every hostage finally home, but the grief remains and we must keep working for a lasting peace in the region.” She declined to address more specific questions on the campaign trail — eliciting backlash from anti-Israel activists. She also publicly condemned the killing of two Israeli Embassy staffers last year. She was endorsed by JDCA and J Street.

WISCONSIN

Mitchell Berman (Wisconsin’s 1st District): Berman, a J Street endorsee who defeated Rep. Brian Steil (R-WI), is a registered nurse. He most recently worked for National Nurses United, the largest nursing union in the U.S., which has faced accusations of antisemitism and anti-Israel activity. He told a supporter that he would not accept support from AIPAC, criticizing its spending against El-Sayed, while raising concerns about “foreign influence on our elections.” He has opposed the war in Iran, but doesn’t appear to have publicly discussed Israel policy.
