Tonight, DMFI PAC congratulates Wesley Bell for defeating anti-Israel Congresswoman Cori Bush in Missouri’s 1st District as well as its endorsees in Michigan, Kansas, and Washington for advancing to the General Election in November.
“Wesley Bell’s victory and Cori Bush’s defeat underscore what we’ve seen in races across the country and throughout this election cycle — being pro-Israel is not just wise policy, but also smart politics,” said DMFI PAC Chairman Mark Mellman. “And there’s another valuable lesson in these results — Democrats do not want division or extremism. They want the kind of progressive results Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have delivered by bringing people together.
“Along with Wesley Bell, we also congratulate all of our winning endorsees, including Representatives Hillary Scholten (MI-03) and Haley Stevens (MI-11), who defeated anti-Israel opponents. We look forward to working with Wesley in Congress following his election in November.”
DMFI PAC and its partner entities undertook a multifaceted independent expenditure campaign in support of Wesley Bell, running a comprehensive seven-figure digital and broadcast advertising program that generated 10.5 million views and delivering over 450,000 mail pieces to voters in Missouri’s 1st District.
DMFI PAC also congratulates Congresswoman Sharice Davids (KS-03), who is running in a competitive race in November, for advancing to the General Election.
