Justice Democrats endorse Kat Abughazaleh in Illinois primary [View all]

Justice Democrats and the Peace, Accountability, and Leadership PAC, or PAL PAC, have jointly endorsed progressive influencer Kat Abughazaleh in the hotly contested Democratic primary to replace Rep. Jan Schakowsky in Illinois.

In a statement, Justice Democrats executive director Alexandra Rojas described Abughazaleh as “the type of progressive leadership we need in Congress — leadership that isn’t too afraid to take on AIPAC or corporate PACs to defeat right-wing fascism or corporate corruption in the Democratic Party.”

Abughazaleh faces more than a dozen opponents in a March primary that’s turned into a national proxy fight. Last week, a newly formed super PAC, Elect Chicago Women, started airing ads backing state Sen. Laura Fine, and some of Fine’s opponents have accused the PAC of being funded by AIPAC.
