Our Jewish Political Guide<\/a> is tracking a variety of important battles that are shaping the conversation in electoral politics. One of the most important primary races on the Democratic side is the one for Ohio\u2019s 11th Congressional District between Rep. Shontel Brown and Nina Turner, scheduled for May 3, 2022, and a rematch of the district\u2019s 2021 special election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The district is currently represented by Rep. Shontel Brown, who was elected in a special election on November 2, 2021, after winning against Nina Turner in the Democratic primary. The district is considered as safe democratic, meaning that the Democratic primary election will be decisive towards who will represent it in the 118th Congress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2021 special election was decided by about only 4,000 votes, and, with high voter turnout in the Jewish areas of the district, the vote of the Jewish community was likely one of the important elements that determined the race. On May 3, the Jewish vote will be decisive again. So, let\u2019s delve into some of the most relevant differences in terms of the two candidates\u2019 approaches to the concerns and issues important to the Jewish community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
