Alma Hernandez Wins Arizona Primary Amid Antisemitism Allegations
Alma Hernandez, a Jewish Democratic lawmaker, won the Democratic primary for an Arizona state Senate seat, overcoming a campaign described as antisemitic by members of the Jewish community. Hernandez, who identifies as a 'proud Zionist,' secured 54% of the vote against her opponent, Rocque Perez, who accused her of being influenced by 'overseas interests' and labeled her a 'genocide enabler.' Despite these attacks, Hernandez's victory is seen as a rejection of antisemitism and a testament to her independent-minded campaign.
