BESSER Washington Correspondent Duke's Defeat Aided By Activist Jews Better late than never, Jewish politicos raised cash and sent workers to Louisiana to give the Edwards campaign a needed boost. ewish activists played a significant role in last Saturday's defeat of former Nazi and Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke. In the waning days of the battle between Mr. Duke and former Gov. Edwin Ed- wards, a number of Jewish political consultants made the trek south to work in the anti-Duke effort, including pollsters and fundraising specialists. A belated effort to mine the Jewish community for contributions to the Ed- wards campaign began just two weeks before the elec- tion and amounted to an at- tempt to offset the heavy in- flow of out-of-state money into the Duke campaign. The most successful fun- draising operation was staff- ed by Michael Lewan, the top aide to Sen. Joe Lieber- man, D-Conn. Mr. Lewan is not Jewish, but he has work- ' ed closely with the Jewish political network for many years. Working from a downtown Washington office, Mr. Lewan raised more than $500,000 for the Louisiana Democratic party, mostly from the Jewish community. "In a very short period of time, we put together an operation around the coun- try," Mr. Lewan said. "It was really a 'two minute drill.' " Mr. Lewan said that the fund-raising effort, which paralleled efforts in the black community and among progressive and labor groups, was hectic but satis- fying. "This . was perhaps the most stressful experience I've ever had —mainly be- cause of the time," he said. "We had only two weeks to put this thing together, to explain what we were doing, to get the money down to Louisiana. But it was very satisfying." The well-oiled Jewish po- litical fund-raising network gave the pro-Edwards effort an important boost, he said. So did a group of Jewish legislators, who tapped their own networks of con- tributors to add to the Loui- siana effort. Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., Sen. Frank Lautenberg, j D-N.J., Rep. Stephen Solarz, D-N.Y., and Sen. Lieberman made calls urging con- tributors to help the Loui- siana Democrats. Another player in the Jew- ish fund-raising effort was Monte Friedkin, a leading pro-Israel activist and Dem- ocratic party official. Sheldon Beychok, a mem- ber of the Jewish political community in Louisiana, netted more than $100,000 with a single fund-raising letter, using a mailing list obtained with the help of the National Jewish Democratic Council. But it wasn't just the big spenders and high-powered political pros who helped stem the Duke tide. Young workers from several Jewish groups trav- eled to Louisiana to stuff envelopes, staff campaign of- fices and provide transporta- tion to the polls. "I was in Pennsylvania the week of the (Harris) Wofford campaign," said Roger Kossin, a legislative assis- Out-of-state Jews contributed mightily — unlike local Louisiana Jewish groups. tant at the Washington of- fice of the American Jewish Congress. "It occurred to me that with this election com- ing up in Louisiana, it was even more important to get involved." Bonnie Dunninger, assis- tant to the director of the Re- ligious Action Center of Reform Judaism, came back more frightened than ever by the Duke phenomenon. "I went down because I thought this was a historic race," she said. "The fact that a Nazi and a former grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan has been elevated to this position in American politics is horrific." Ms. Dunninger, who did not go to Louisiana in her of- ficial capacity, is convinced that the election's results do not represent a setback for Mr. Duke. "This is all part of his plan," she said. "I'm con- vinced that this man really
