Sen. Kustoff urges Jewish Republicans to improve state-level efforts.

In a recent interview with The Post, Sen. David Kustoff highlighted the importance of engaging Jewish Republicans in mid-tier communities for political participation. While the Republican Jewish Coalition has been successful in major cities, Kustoff emphasized the need to focus on smaller cities like Nashville and Memphis, where active Jewish communities exist.

Kustoff stressed the importance of building a strong foundation at the local and state levels to groom future Jewish Republican leaders for federal office. He emphasized the need for better recruitment strategies and creating a bench of candidates at all levels of government.

Despite historical trends of Jewish voters leaning Democrat, Kustoff believes that the upcoming election could shift this dynamic. He noted a growing momentum among Jewish Republicans after recent events, citing the party’s unwavering support for Israel as a key factor in attracting more members.
