JEI Supports JCRC of Greater Washington and Executive Director
Washington, D.C. - The Jewish Electorate Institute is deeply disappointed by the recent controversial remarks directed specifically at the Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Washington (JCRC) and its Executive Director.
The JCRC remains one of the region’s most respected and effective advocates for the Jewish community, a distinction made possible through the steadfast, strategic, and principled leadership of its Executive Director Ron Halber and Board of Directors. We stand firmly in support of their critical work and the integrity with which it they serve our community.
The JCRC has championed vital advocacy on issues of security, education, antisemitism, social justice, and the U.S.–Israel relationship, all while fostering meaningful partnerships across government, faith communities, and civic institutions. With steady hands, strategic vision, and unwavering moral clarity they have strengthened the organization’s impact and ensured that the values and concerns of the Jewish community are heard at the highest levels. The JCRC’s accomplishments—rooted in thoughtful engagement, coalition-building, and tireless dedication—stand as a testament to Ron Halber’s and his board’s outstanding stewardship and the organization’s indispensable role in our region.
