Much of Canovas campaign literature emphasizes his opposition to the nuclear agreement with Iran, a position shared by many in the districts large and active Jewish population. Wasserman Schultz backed the deal.
Shes Jewish; Im not. But Ive had a Jewish stepdad for 40 years, and I was a volunteer on a kibbutz. . . . And she voted for the Iran agreement, he said. Either she got duped by [Obama deputy national security adviser] Ben Rhodes or she was in on it.

Have to say not sure whom I would vote for at this point. Not my district so not my call but both candidates have serious problem in my opinion.

While I have criticized several deficiencies in the Iran nuclear deal (no international agreement is ever perfect), now that it has been entered into, I support its full implementation.
What were my concerns with the agreement? I was troubled by the inspections protocols. I also thought that a more measured and incremental lifting of sanctions and release of frozen assets would have provided continuing incentives for Iran to comply not just with the nuclear deal but also with its anti-ballistic missile commitments. I was also concerned that the wholesale lifting of sanctions and release of assets may strengthen hardliners in Iran. In a democracy like ours, it is important for citizens and elected representatives to critically scrutinize proposed international treaties and executive agreements, whether they be trade deals or arms control agreements.
Now that the Iran nuclear deal has been adopted by all parties, I support its full implementation and I would not support any efforts by the U.S. to unilaterally scrap the agreement.
