The group of Democratic incumbents are critical to Democrats taking back the House

DMFI PAC today announced its new slate of endorsements for the 2026 primary cycle, backing 65 Democratic incumbent candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives. The slate reflects a broad and diverse coalition of leaders from every region of the country who share a deep commitment to strengthening the U.S.-Israel relationship, ensuring the ceasefire holds, confronting antisemitism and extremism, and advancing a durable peace that delivers security for Israelis and a better future for Palestinians.

These candidates will also play a decisive role in Democrats’ effort to win back the House majority in a number of battleground races, a clear sign that pro-Israel leadership isn’t just the right policy, it’s winning politics in the toughest, must-win districts in the country. Together, this group demonstrates the wide range of support for the U.S.-Israel relationship across the Democratic Party — from newer voices to senior leaders, and from urban, suburban, and rural communities alike.

“At this critical moment for the U.S.-Israel relationship, these incumbent candidates understand what’s at stake — and they know that standing with our ally Israel is not only good policy, but good politics,” said DMFI PAC Board Chair Brian Romick. “This slate represents the strength and diversity of the Democratic Party. They are battle-tested leaders who will work to ensure America upholds the ceasefire, the peace plan, and a strong and mutually beneficial U.S.-Israel partnership.”

“Thank you to DMFI PAC for this endorsement, for your steadfast support for Israel, and for being an ally to fight against antisemitism here at home,” said pro-Israel champion Rep. George Latimer (NY-16). “With the ceasefire in place and the living hostages returned home, our work now is to keep Israel safe, ensure the peace plan is implemented, and insist on a future where Israelis and Palestinians can live in security and dignity.”
