The Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) has endorsed state Sen. John McGuire in the GOP congressional primary against Rep. Bob Good. The move comes after Good voted against a foreign aid package that included money for Israel, sparking criticism from the RJC. The group accused Good of abandoning Israel and ignoring its need for military support. Good has defended his vote, saying the aid package included excessive spending and should have been paid for. He has also expressed support for Israel’s right to defend itself but wants the Senate to focus on a smaller, paid-for bill to help the country. The primary for Good’s seat is scheduled for June 18.

The Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) has announced its support for state Sen. John McGuire (R) in the Republican primary for Virginia’s 5th Congressional District. The RJC cited Rep. Bob Good’s (R-Va.) vote against a foreign aid package that included funding for Ukraine, Israel, and humanitarian aid for Gaza as the reason for its decision. The RJC’s CEO, Matt Brooks, said that Good’s vote showed that he is not a true friend of Israel. Good has defended his vote, saying that he supports Israel’s right to defend itself but that he believes the aid package was too expensive and would add to the national debt.
