Few Surprises

Continued from preceding page

newfound love for Israel, he
continues to oppose all for-
eign aid. So this time
around, most pro-Israel
PACs chose to sit out the
election.
Sen. Sam Nunn, a Georgia
Democrat with strong presi-
dential ambitions, was
unopposed. Nunn chairs the
Armed Services committee,
where he has been an effec-
tive advocate for U.S.-Israeli
strategic cooperation.
In the House, there were
even fewer surprises.
Despite the recent talk
about a revolution of angry
voters, incumbents in House
races fared very well.
The Jewish delegation to
Congress was returned to of-
fice intact.
In mid-Michigan,
Democrat Rep. Howard
Wolpe — once considered the
most vulnerable member of
the Jewish House delegation
— won more than 57 percent
of the vote in his race
against Republican Brad
Haskins.
Rep. Stephen Solarz, Rep.
Charles E. Schumer and
Rep. Ted Weiss, all New
York Democrats with good
reputations for constituent
services in heavily Jewish
districts, breezed by their
opposition with about 80
percent of the vote.
First- termers Rep. Eliot L.
Engel and Rep. Nita Lowey,
also New York Democrats,
made do with lesser but still
comfortable victories.
Maryland Democrat Ben
Cardin, a close friend of the
pro-Israel community and a
leading congressional sup-
porter of the Soviet Jewry
movement, hardly blinked
as he cruised by challenger
Harwood Nichols with more
than 70 percent of the vote.
In Utah, the unpredictable
Rep. Wayne Owens -won a
squeaker in a race that was
one of few to feature debate
over the Middle East.
But Mr. Owens retained
the support of the pro-Israel
community. in this week's
election, a fact that ge-
nerated protest from his op-
ponent, Genevieve Atwood.
Rep. Tom Lantos, the
Holocaust survivor and
strong advocate of the pro-
Israel cause, handily fended
off a repeat challenge from
Bill Quraishi, an Arab-
American who has traveled
. extensively to the Middle
East and met with Yassir
Arafat:
Rep. Sidney Yates (D-I11.),
the dean of the Jewish dele-
gation on Capitol Hill, hand-
ily defeated challenger Herb
Sohn in his bid for an amaz-
ing 21st term.
In Massachusetts, Dem-

Sen. Jesse Helms: An incomplete
conversion.

operatic Rep. Barney Frank, a
strong pro-Israel voice in
Congress and a close friend
of the liberal, politically ac-
tive Jewish organizations,
breezed to a sixth term
despite last year's scandals
involving a male prostitute.
Rep. John Miller, a Repub-
lican, survived a tight battle
to retain his seat from Wash-
ington. Mr. Miller, another
member of the Jewish dele-
gation, has been a major
congressional voice in sup-
port of Soviet Jews.
In Nebraska, Ally Milder,
an energetic Jewish woman,
failed in her bid to unseat
Rep. Peter Hoagland, a first-
term Democrat who has
compiled a good record on
Israel.
Across the state line in
Iowa, Republican Rep. Fred
Grandy —who has become a
favorite on the pro-Israel
speaking circuit in the past
year — racked up about 70
percent of the vote.
And in one of the more
unusual races in recent
memory, a Jewish Socialist
— Bernie Sanders — won an
overwhelming victory to
become Vermont's only
member of the House of
Representatives.
There were several other-
races that may ultimately
have a major impact on the
Jewish agenda.
In California, Republican
Sen. Pete Wilson narrowly
defeated former San Fran-
cisco Mayor Dianne Feins-
tein in one of the most ex-
pensive campaigns in histo-
ry.
But the investment may
pay off for the GOP; as Gov-
ernor, Mr. Wilson will
preside over the controver-
sial process of redrawing the
state's congressional boun-
daries.
This may have a major im-
pact on the future of Los
Angeles' cluster of four
Jewish legislators. C
