Rep. D’Esposito Fights for the Jewish Community

Rep. D'Esposito Fights for the Jewish Community

August 29, 2024

Yesterday, Laura Gillen tried desperately to separate herself from the rising antisemitism in her party. But the truth is, there is only one person in the NY-04 congressional race that has a proven track record of fighting against antisemitism and for the Jewish community, and that is Rep. D'Esposito.

A quick recap:

  • Rep. D'Esposito sponsored a resolution that condemns the antisemitic chant, "from the river to the sea…" which passed the House.
  • Rep. D'Esposito directly confronted antisemitism on Columbia University's campus this past spring. He also demanded Columbia pay for the New York Police Department's $200,000 in overtime that was spent dealing with the antisemitic riots.
  • Rep. D'Esposito cosponsored the bipartisan Antisemitism Awareness Act which was designed to help combat antisemitism on college campuses.
  • Rep. D'Esposito introduced the HALT HATE Act which strengthens penalties for reoffenders of hate crimes.
  • Rep. D'Esposito cosponsored the Stop Anti-Semitism on College Campuses Act.

"Rep. Anthony D'Esposito is a proven fighter for all members of the NY-04 community, and his fight against antisemitism and his steadfast support of Israel proves just that." - NRCC Spokeswoman Savannah Viar
