Staten Island Congressman Thinks You Should Know That Jews Have Donated to His Opponent
Democratic congressman Mike McMahon, representing Staten Island and areas of Brooklyn, has compiled a list of Jewish donors to the campaign of one of his Republican opponents, Michael Grimm.

It's unclear why they didn't just compile a list of donors from outside the district. Perhaps Jewish automatically equals "outsider" (even though many people on the list did actually live in Staten Island and Brooklyn)?
