Pro-Israel PAC backs Owens

Rep. William L. Owens, D-Plattsburgh, was endorsed Jan. 26 by J Street, an advocacy group of primarily Jewish Americans "who support Israel and its desire for security as the Jewish homeland, as well as the right of the Palestinians to a sovereign state of their own."

The group's political action committee gave $1,000 to Mr. Owens on Dec. 28, according to campaign finance reports.

"Rep. Owens has indicated that he will look to the leadership and principles of JStreetPAC to help inform his opinion on the Middle East conflict," the Web site that announced his endorsement states.
