Damon Lynch IV is vying to unseat AIPAC-favorite Greg Landsman in Ohio’s upcoming May 5 primary, aiming to make the race a referendum on the incumbent’s support for Israel. Recent trends in the Democratic Party suggest he might have a winning case.
Nina Turner, running for Congress in Ohio, says a group is targeting progressive candidates of color with “dirty money”– in an apparent reference to Democratic Majority for Israel. Turner has called for conditioning U.S. aid to Israel, while her rival Shontel Brown recently visited the country at the behest of a rightwing Israel lobby group.
