Alison Friedman is running in the Democratic primary in Virginia’s 10th Congressional District to take on Republican incumbent Barbara Comstock. Friedman formerly served in the State Department where she worked to intensify the Obama Administration’s focus on combatting human trafficking at home and abroad. Her work resulted in an executive order that strengthened protections against trafficking in persons throughout federal contracts. Through her anti-trafficking work, Friedman has traveled the world and worked with international officials, religious leaders, non-profit organizations and people from across the aisle to protect children and families.

Friedman is Jewish and feels deeply connected to the Passover lesson that as long as others suffer, we can never be fully free. These values inform her relationship with Israel and her commitment to strengthening the US-Israel relationship. Friedman is committed to ensuring Israel’s long-term security through a two-state solution. She believes that the US has an important role to play in brokering these negotiations. Friedman also understands that the acquisition of nuclear weapons by Iran would be a serious threat to Israel, the United States, and to the world, and thus supports the continued implementation of the JCPOA.
