The Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) offers our warmest congratulations to the Jewish Republicans who won their races yesterday in the important election of 2014. We are especially delighted that Lee Zeldin won his congressional race in New York’s first district, making him the Jewish Republican in the 114th U.S. Congress. We are also pleased that the Jewish Republicans in state offices around the country won their reelections. Georgia Attorney General Sam Olens, Ohio State Treasurer Josh Mandel, South Dakota State Senator Dan Lederman, Texas State Representative and House Speaker Joe Straus and Texas State Representative Craig Goldman all won reelection. Congratulations to them all. And congratulations to Dan Schwartz, the incoming Nevada state treasurer. We are very proud of our members and friends who made the choice to serve, took on tough opponents, and won the day. We thank them for their service, offer them our continued support, and wish them success going forward.

Could that have been because the Nevada 'Rat cheating machine wasn't in full gear with no Obama and no Reid on the ballot?
One of the reasons why NV RATs got reamed was that Reid wasn’t on the ballot (and neither was his son) and he was more concerned with trying to salvage Senate seats in CO, IA, AR, LA, NC, NH and AK than in how those yokels in NV did in their little local elections. Clark County turnout would not have been so abysmal had Reid put his machine in place.
Certainly there was less fraud (and more importantly less legitimate rat turnout) with Nobama and Noreid, instead at the top of the ticket was the GOP Governor who may as well have been unopposed (he took 70%), Nevada has a history of big vicotry margins for Governor but only rat Richard Bryan in 1986 got a higher % of the vote for Governor in State History.
GOP voters showed up. When the dems saw the early voting figures come in they started crapping their pants.
Just a week before the election they thought there was no chance they’d lose the State Assembly, a couple months ago I looked at it and thought there was no way, instead it’s a good sized GOP majority (25 of 42). I think it was ‘84 the last time we won that.
Thanks for the info. But Zeldin was attacked repeatedly by his primary opponent in this year's race as a big taxer and for facilitating the implementation of Obamacare in New York, among other issues.
i disagree with you. I ive in the west, not california...the Jews i know are conservative. My East coast family is a bit different, but many are coming around.
Ugh! That list is disgusting - filled to the gills with gun-grabbing, socialism-spouting, arrogant liberal @ssholes. Yup, those are supposed to be my people - but they don’t represent me AT ALL.
Glad to see that some more conservative ones are on the way, or working their way up. Unfortunately, the scum present in Congress now make all Jews look like liberal slime.
Those "not committed to the Jewish faith at all" are otherwise known as JINOs. Virtually all of them would be perfectly comfortable as card-carrying Communists. This is what happens when God isn't in your life - you have to look for a replacement, and it is almost always the State.
Weddings, Bar Mitzvahs, funerals and, maybe, Yom Kippur (where they socialize far more than praying).
Brilliant recital of the idiocy of Jewish (and women) Dem voters. Similar things can no doubt be said about blacks, who have unstintingly supported the Dem Party with huge majorities since FDR. What has it gotten them?
For the Jews, the same kind of support (albeit at a somewhat lower, but still shamefully high level) has gotten them a President that would throw Israel under the bus in the blink of an eye if it were possible...and WHERE are the Jewish Dems in Congress on this issue?
I wouldn’t worry about the office holders because one liberal or another would be filling that spot regardless of his religion, it is the Jewish voters, opinion makers, and donors, that need to be reached.
I’m in south Texas, a refugee from central NJ - and damned glad of it. Many of the Jews in my shul are conservative, but it is the Orthodox shul, so moral values are far more in sync with the conservative political agenda. Also, there is a very, very strong affinity for Israel, which translates into support for a robust and very pro-American foreign and defense policy. A bunch of us carry, including the Rabbi.
My N.E. relatives are mostly libs, but over time have changed. My uncle in Long Island and his son are definitely Republican (they love shooting, and don’t particularly care for people who sit around doing nothing getting paid by the rest of us for it). My other uncle is living in SF, and has Pelosi as his rep - and he hates her with a passion that I’ve never seen. Of course, his wife and the rest of her family are liberal as Hell.
Slowly but surely, Jews are beginning to see the light, politically speaking.
I know Russian Jews having worked to get them out of the then Soviet Union. They are not as intimidated by the young Communist thugs who hassle people if they support America.
I had hoped that state House Speaker Adam Hasner would run for Congress this year against freshman Patrick Murphy, but he didn’t and Murphy won big after spending a king’s ransom.
I don't quite understand that logic. If Jews move to the suburbs, do they come more conservative politically yet lose their Jewish identity? If that's a major trend, then why are more identifiable Jews (e.g. Orthodox or more recent immigrants) generally considered MORE conservative than more assimilated Jews? Seems like we have a paradox there.
Whatever NEP stands for, let's not get carried away by exit polling results because it's very difficult to understand how exit poll results have much credibility at all as determinants of final real vote percentages.
The major problem is how on earth do you reach a true random sample of voters in a particular election contest when you obviously only have the limited personnel to interview a very scant number of voters in just a smattering of election districts, and those interviewees self-select themselves by their cooperation with the interviewers?
When it comes to a small subgroup like Asians, the general exit polling statistical problems are further exacerbated because of the even smaller number of interviewees available, the frequent cultural differences between interviewer and interviewee, and the basic fact that "Asians" consist of so many different nationalities and cultures. Somewhat similar problems arise with exit polling re Jews.
So my gut impression is that exit polling and results obtained thereby are garbage in, garbage out, especially when you are dealing with small minority groups of voters. And that in turn just tarnishes the MSM's credibility and reliability even more, if that's possible.
I haven’t seen any numbers, but am hearing that Republicans made more inroads into the Jewish vote this year.
Another good sign: the steadily increasing membership in the Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC), from where the lead article in this thread was taken.
Dittos. You might have added that a few of them are real nut jobs missing a screw or two upstairs, like Wasserman-Schultz and Grayson.
BTW, who among that list of 'Rat Jewish congresscritters might not be back for the 114th? Didn't Henry Waxman retire?
Thanks for the heads up.
We should remember these names....
Big problem in Florida, though.
Rick Scott won the governership, had a Hispanic running mate, but apparently his share of the Hispanic vote went from 50% in 2010 to 38% in 2014.
Florida Hispanics are either changing—importing liberals and/or the Republicans in Florida are doing a lousy job reaching out to them.
Either way, it needs to be fixed.
