U.S. Representative Madeleine Dean was one of 87 members of the U.S. House of Representatives who signed a November 24 letter to President Biden, calling for supplemental funding for Israel’s Iron Dome.
Josh Gottheimer (D, NJ-5) led the bi-partisan effort. He wrote in a press release – “We are writing to urge that you specifically request that Congress include supplemental funding for Israel’s Iron Dome in an appropriations bill enacted before the year’s end – including in any anomalies you may request to a new continuing resolution,” the Members wrote to President Biden. “Replenishing Israel’s stock of Iron Dome interceptors and expanding its missile defense system is a critical investment that will protect both Israeli and Palestinian lives and homes, as well as America’s national security interests.”
Dean is a Democrat who represents Pennsylvania’s 4th Congressional District, which includes most of Montgomery County, including all of Narberth and about half of Lower Merion.
