RJC Hosts Key GOP Leaders at Summer Leadership Meeting in Washington, DC

Washington, DC - Yesterday, the Republican Jewish Coalition hosted key Republican leaders, elected officials, and policymakers at the 2026 Summer Leadership Meeting in Washington, DC.

National Chairman Senator Norm Coleman opened the event with a rallying call to the RJC membership: "Today, there is a split screen of two parties making very different choices. Ensuring that we keep our majorities is the top priority for the RJC this year. If Democrats retake power in either the House or the Senate, or both, they will do everything in their power to halt and destroy President Trump's agenda. I stand before you today and say confidently that the GOP is the only party where it's safe to be proudly Jewish and loudly pro-Israel. That didn't happen by accident, it happened because of this organization, the leaders in this room, and this movement. So, let's continue our work in the trenches!"

Acting Secretary of Labor Keith Sonderling said: "The RJC is just such a wonderful organization. It's changed my life, and you know, the friendships and long-term relationships that this organization has created and continues to create, it makes me very happy to see how much it's grown and continues to grow."

Congressman Randy Fine added: "I'm not just addressing the RJC, I'm part of the RJC."

President Trump's key Political Advisor, James Blair: "The Democrats are woke, weak, and way too liberal. The President never sleeps, and we are all just trying to keep up with his work ethic. We are in a position to win the Midterms."

Congressman Byron Donalds said: "We are in the business of shaping the future of our nation. It requires the activism, the intent, the work. A lot of times, it's ugly. But fighting for this nation has never been easy. It is what has been required for America to last 250 years. It is what is going to be required for America to last another 250 years."

Coach Bruce Pearl closed out the meeting: "I know how important the RJC is, and I know what a difference it can make."
