Pro-Israel U.S. Congresswoman Haley Stevens Gets Engaged After Election Loss

Democratic Congresswoman Haley Stevens from Michigan, known for her pro-Israel stance, recently got engaged to her partner Jason Turkish. The engagement was announced less than a month after Stevens lost the Michigan Senate primary. Turkish, a lawyer and grandson of Holocaust survivors, has been a significant supporter of Stevens, donating over $50,000 to her campaigns since 2023. Their relationship deepened during the campaign, which saw Stevens face harsh criticism and boos from the far-left for her support of Israel. Turkish described the backlash as "anti-Zionist hatred," emphasizing that the loudest voices did not represent the truth.

The couple shares strong family values and a commitment to their Jewish heritage. They plan to visit Israel soon to meet survivors of the October 7 terror attack, a trip that holds special meaning for Turkish, whose father was born in Israel. While they have not set a wedding date, their connection to Israel and the Jewish people remains a central aspect of their relationship.
