Solidarity PAC, Inc. A New Political Action Committee For The Jewish Community, Announces First Slate of Endorsements for New York State Assembly

NEW YORK– Solidarity PAC, Inc., a new, New York-based political action committee established to support candidates and efforts benefitting New York’s Jewish community today announced its first slate of endorsements for the New York State Assembly. Solidarity PAC is designed to be a clear and accessible resource for the Jewish community to support state and local political candidates and committees. 

 

The guiding principles of Solidarity PAC are the deep-rooted American values and pro-Israel beliefs that are shared by the vast majority of New York’s diverse and vibrant Jewish community. Solidarity PAC believes that Jews have a right to self-determination in our ancestral homeland of Israel and that fighting antisemitism is a serious issue for New York. The goal of Solidarity PAC is to ensure the elected leaders in New York share these values.

 

That’s why Solidarity PAC is proud to endorse the following candidates for New York State Assembly:

  • Michael Benedetto for Assembly District 84

  • Didi Barrett for Assembly District 106

  • Stefani Zinerman for Assembly District  56

  • John Zaccaro for Assembly District 80

  • Johanna Carmona for Assembly District  37

  • Gabriella Madden for Assembly District 103

  • Anathea Simpkins for Assembly District 50 

  • Jordan Wright for Assembly District 7

  • Micah Lasher for Assembly District  69 

 

“These candidates have decades of experience in public service, community work, and are committed to protecting New York’s Jewish community, as well as kitchen table concerns of all New Yorkers, from public safety to education to quality of life. Many are facing DSA-affiliated candidates who are more concerned with tweeting about foreign policy than they are about legislating meaningfully, and some have committed to a platform that is seeking to prevent the strengthening of hate crime prosecution at a time of soaring antisemitic harassment in New York. We can do better, and by electing our endorsed candidates, we will,” said Sara Forman of Solidarity PAC.
