Rep. John Duarte has been endorsed by a major pro-Israel group.
Duarte announced Wednesday that he received an endorsement from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).
The big picture: AIPAC is a bipartisan organization that represents millions of pro-Israel Americans.
- The group works to strengthen the alliance between the United States and Israel.
What they’re saying: Duarte said in a statement that the endorsement supports his commitment to the partnership with Israel and is especially important given the recent pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses nationwide.
- “I am honored to receive an endorsement from AIPAC,” Duarte said. “The United States-Israel relationship is not just a strategic alliance; it’s a partnership in shared history, mutual respect, and common purpose. Today, as we confront challenges faced worldwide, it’s vital that we stand beside our allies. From securing our nation’s borders to combating terrorism and advancing shared economic prosperity, I will continue to be a strong ally with Israel.”
