Representative Shontel Brown beat former state Senator Nina Turner after she appeared alongside disgraced UK politician Jeremy Corbyn, whom former UK Chief Rabbi Jonathan Sacks labeled an “antisemite.”
For the second time since last summer, pro-Israel Democratic U.S. Rep. Shontel Brown defeated former state Sen. Nina Turner. That victory “reaffirms [ed] that being pro-Israel is good politics as well as wise policy,” said Mark Mellman, President of the Democratic Majority for Israel PAC, at the time. Delivering a victory speech to supporters after her July victory, Brown thanked her “Jewish brothers and sisters” for their support, and referenced her 2018 visit to Israel.
“Turner’s affiliation with a range of far-left House members who endorsed her campaign was off-putting to Jewish voters who associate the Squad with hostility to Israel,” reported Jewish Insider (JI) after Brown beat Turner again in May.
