| Description | AIPAC’s United Democracy Project began independent expenditures this week in support of Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D-CA) and against his progressive Democratic opponent, David Kim, who has advocated for a far-left foreign policy platform that includes cutting off U.S. aid to Israel, using U.S. pressure to compel Israel to change its government and supporting the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement.
Kim, an attorney, is running against Gomez for the third time in the Los Angeles-based 34th Congressional District; Kim lost to Gomez by around 3,000 votes in the 2022 general election and 12,000 votes in 2020. Kim has challenged Gomez, himself a progressive, from the left, proposing an approach of “co-governing” with activists.
Kim’s Israel policy would place him on the far-left of the House’s political spectrum. UDP made an initial investment of nearly $400,000 on Monday, including both ads and direct mailers supporting Gomez and opposing Kim, according to a Federal Election Commission filing. It’s UDP’s first spending in the general election cycle.
The foreign policy page of Kim’s campaign website calls for an immediate suspension of “all economic, diplomatic and military aid to Israel” until Israel agrees to an immediate and “PERMANENT” cease-fire and an end to the “‘open-air prison’ siege of Gaza.” |
