DMFI PAC today announced its first slate of Senate endorsements for the 2026 primary cycle, backing four Democrats running in some of the most competitive and consequential states in the country: Rep. Angie Craig (MN), Rep. Chris Pappas (NH), Rep. Haley Stevens (MI), and former Governor Roy Cooper (NC). Each Senate candidate shares a steadfast commitment to strengthening the U.S.-Israel relationship and advancing the U.S.-led peace plan that will secure a safer, more hopeful future for Israelis and Palestinians.
Winning these races is essential for Democrats to reclaim the Senate majority — and each of these candidates has shown they can take on the corruption and abuses of the Trump administration, fight to make health care and everyday goods more affordable, and stand up for America’s democratic values at home and abroad.
“Our democracy and our most fundamental freedoms are on the line in 2026. Chris Pappas, Haley Stevens, Angie Craig, and Roy Cooper are battle-tested leaders who know how to win tough races, hold the Trump administration accountable, and deliver real results for working families. They’ve stood firm against extremism, antisemitism, and efforts to undermine America’s alliances,” said DMFI PAC Chair Brian Romick. “Each is a champion of the U.S.-Israel relationship and a clear-eyed advocate for Israel’s security and the region’s long-term stability.
“DMFI PAC is proud to support these exceptional candidates, and we’re firmly committed to helping them win their races,” added Romick.
“I’m honored to have DMFI PAC’s endorsement in this race. As a proud pro-Israel Democrat, I believe America is stronger when we stand with our democratic allies, confront antisemitism and extremism, and keep our promises to our friends abroad and our working families here at home,” said Congresswoman Haley Stevens. “In the Senate, I’ll keep fighting to protect our democracy, support Israel’s security, ensure the ceasefire holds in Gaza, and deliver for Michiganders in every corner of our state.”
