YOUNG JEWISH LEADERSHIP PAC (YJLPAC) ENDORSES REPUBLICAN EDWARD LYNCH

NEW YORK – The Young Jewish Leadership PAC today endorsed Edward Lynch for election to Congress in Florida’s 19th District

The Young Jewish Leadership PAC has endorsed Florida Republican Edward Lynch.
“Edward Lynch is clearly the best person to represent voters in the 19th Congressional District in Florida, and is the clear choice of supporters of Israel” stated Young Jewish Leadership PAC Chairman Lawrence Scheer. “He will represent an important, independent voice in Congress for the concerns of his district, and has demonstrated a strong and clear commitment, with an outspoken voice, to the national security of both the United States and Israel. Edward understands that it is critical that all options remain on the table in order to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, and does not accept double standards regarding Israel’s right to defend herself. He knows how important it is that we maintain strong relationships with all of our allies for the sake of our mutual security. As an entrepreneur, Edward understands the issues facing America’s job creation engine, small business, and the importance of fiscally responsible government for the financial security of all current and future generations. “

“In sharp contrast,” Scheer continued, “stands Edward’s opponent, Ted Deutch. Especially important for pro-Israel voters, there appears to be no daylight between Deutch and President Obama’s dangerous acceptance of Iran obtaining nuclear weapons – an existential threat to Israel and a harmful development to the security of our interests, troops, and allies in the region. Further, Deutch would be a rubber stamp for the destructive Pelosi agenda of seemingly unending increases in government spending and taxes, and restrictions of our liberties. Deutch is a declared supporter of Obamacare, which creates a massive government bureaucracy, and contains hundreds of billions of dollars of tax increases and Medicare and Medicare Advantage cuts, jeopardizing the long-term health of benefits that tens of thousands of district seniors rely on. Lastly, it is clear that Ted Deutch does not understand how to help the private sector create jobs, as he has the second lowest rating of any Florida State Senator from the Florida Chamber of Commerce.”

Scheer concluded: “Voters in District 19 are fortunate to have an experienced, staunchly pro-Israel choice for their next Congressman in Edward Lynch.”
