Progressive reps share campaign funds with Dems in tight races

Far-left progressives who have demonized Israel and voted against condemning Hamas' attacks have funneled thousands of dollars in campaign cash to dozens of candidates.

According to a Fox News review of federal filings, the far-left progressives who have refused to condemn atrocities by Hamas have directed funds from their campaign committees to at least 33 other Democrats who are in tough elections, with some receiving over $15,000.

In late October, a group of House Democrats primarily made up of the far-left "Squad" members voted against resolution HR 771, which reaffirmed America's support for Israel as it responded to the Oct. 7 massacre.

The bill received overwhelming bipartisan support and passed by 412-10, with six members voting present, but the 10 who voted against it included six of the eight "Squad" members including Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Jamaal Bowman (D-NY), Summer Lee (D-PA), and Cori Bush (D-MO).

Reps. André Carson (D-IN), Al Green (D-TX), and Delia Ramirez (D-Il) joined them in voting against the Jewish State.

The two other "Squad" members, Reps. Greg Casar (D-TX) and Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), voted present, along with Reps. Joaquin Castro (D-TX), Jesús "Chuy" Garcia (D-Il), and Pramila Jayapal (D-WA).

According to Fox News’s review, Rep. Susan Wild (D-P), received the most, at a total of $47,000, from the campaigns of leadership PACs of Castro, Garcia, Pressley, Carson, Ocasio-Cortez, and Jayapal since 2020.

Rep. Matt Cartwright (D-PA) received $25,000 from Jayapal and Ocasio-Cortez's leadership PACs in the 2022 and 2024 election cycles, the majority coming from Jayapal’s Medicare For All PAC.

Rep. Lauren Underwood (D-Il) received $23,000 between 2018 and 2022 from committees working with Garcia, Jayapal, Carson, Ocasio-Cortez, and Omar.

According to the outlet, at least 30 other Democrats took money from the anti-Israel progressives including Mary Peltola ($11,000) of Alaska; Greg Stanton ($5,000) of Arizona; Josh Harder ($16,000) and Mike Levin ($17,800) of California; Brittany Petterson ($3,000) of Colorado; Jahana Hayes ($19,300) of Connecticut; Sean Casten ($4,000), Nikki Budzinski ($5,000) and Eric Sorensen ($3,000) of Illinois; Hillary Scholten ($8,000) and Elissa Slotkin ($10,000) of Michigan; Dina Titus ($8,000), Susie Lee ($15,000) and Steven Horsford ($17,000) of Nevada; Gabriel Vasquez ($1500) of New Mexico; Pat Ryan ($13,500) of New York; Greg Landsman ($1,000) and Marcy Kaptur ($3,000) of Ohio; Val Hoyle ($15,000) and McLeod Skinner ($5,000) of Oregon; Frank Mrvan ($7,000) of Indiana; Sharice Davids ($21,000) of Kansas; Jared Golden ($14,000) of Maine; Chris Pappas ($15,000) of New Hampshire; Angie Craig ($13,250) of Minnesota; Chris Deluzio ($16,000) of Pennsylvania; Seth Magaziner ($5,500) of Rhode Island; and Vincente Gonzalez ($8,000) of Texas, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez ($5,000) and Kim Schrier ($18,000) of Washington.
