GOP hopefuls lose, new Dems join House.

New York/JTA

R

ep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.), the
majority leader, will remain
the sole Jewish Republican in
the U.S. House of Representatives. The
party's top Jewish congressional pros-
pects all went down to defeat.
In New Jersey, Republican Rabbi
Shmuley Boteach lost to incumbent
Democrat Rep. Bill Pascrell by a nearly
3-1 margin. On New York's Long Island,
businessman Randy Altschuler was
fended off by Democrat Rep. Tim
Bishop. In a South Florida race pitting
two Jewish candidates, Adam Hasner,
the former majority leader in the state
Senate, was defeated in his congressio-
nal bid by Democrat Lois Frankel, the
former mayor of West Palm Beach.
Jewish Democrats had cause to cele-
brate beyond President Obama's victory.
The House Democratic caucus will
feature some new Jewish faces: In
Florida, aside from Frankel's victory,
former congressman Alan Grayson won
a return ticket in his Orlando-area dis-
trict. In suburban Chicago, Democratic
business consultant and Jewish
community activist Brad Schneider
unseated first-term Rep. Robert Dold,
a Republican. In Southern California,
state Sen. Alan Lowenthal took a con-
gressional seat spanning parts of Los
Angeles and Orange counties.
In Rhode Island, first-term Rep.
David Cicilline, a Jewish Democrat, held
on to his seat.

In Senate races with Jewish
Republican candidates, Ohio Treasurer
Josh Mandel failed to unseat Sen.
Sherrod Brown. In Hawaii, former Gov.
Linda Lingle lost to Rep. Mazie Hirono.
Some Jewish Democrats also came up
short. In a closely watched Senate race
in Nevada, Rep. Shelley Berkley failed
in her effort to unseat the Republican
incumbent, Dean Heller. Berkley, an
outspoken supporter of Israel who
has had a long-running feud with Las
Vegas casino tycoon and Republican
mega-donor Sheldon Adelson, will leave
Congress after 14 years in the House.
In the House, Rep. Howard Berman,
a 30-year veteran, lost a redistricting-
fueled, battle to fellow Jewish incum-
bent Rep. Brad Sherman. The campaign
pitted two pro-Israel Democrats against
each other in the San Fernando Valley
district with an intensity so ferocious
that it became physical: Sherman briefly
grabbed Berman at a debate.
In New Jersey, several Jewish candi-
dates challenging congressional incum-
bents went down to defeat. Democrat
Shelley Adler lost her bid to unseat
Republican Jon Runyan. Democrat
Adam Gussen, the deputy mayor of
Teaneck, lost his longshot challenge to
Rep. Scott Garrett.
The next Congress will have 10 Jews
serving in the Senate and 22 members
of the House — a decline from the 12
Jews elected to the Senate and 27 elect-
ed to the House in 2010.
