Leave Holocaust out of 10th district race

I am fed up with the way Julie Hamos is using her identity as a child of Holocaust survivors to manipulate our emotions.

I am a Jewish woman and I have some relatives who survived the Holocaust and some who did not.

Targeting certain groups in politics is nothing new, but her campaign is using this endlessly, to the point that it is now offensive. Every candidate in this election sees Iran as a major threat - to suggest that she is somehow uniquely qualified to understand this threat is an insult to the other candidates and an insult to our intelligence.

I am proud of my heritage, concerned about Israel, and I'm voting for Dan Seals.
