Illinois Tenth Congressional District Candidate, Jim Carris, expressed his sentiments on Israeli Independence Day, stating, "Today marks Israeli Independence Day and for many Jewish families around the world, commemorations look and feel very different - marked by solemnity and concern but hopeful and united." Carris, who is set to challenge incumbent Democrat Brad Schneider in the general election, further commented, "The torch-lighting ceremony at Mount Herzl that aired Monday night marked a bleak 76th Independence Day, the first since Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel."
