Newsmax Names Elliott Broidy As A Top Jewish Republican

LOS ANGELES - June 25, 2015 - PRLog -- On June 22, 2015 national news organization, Newsmax launched their list of 75 most influential Jewish Republican Americans.  Listed at number 71 was Elliott Broidy; businessman, fundraiser, former Finance Committee chairman for the Republican National Committee and member of the Board of Directors for the Republican Jewish Coalition.

“I am thrilled and humbled to be amongst this list of recognized Jewish Republicans, some of which are my mentors and peers,” said Elliott Broidy.  “I am personally and professionally committed to assisting with any government endeavors as well as philanthropic undertakings.”

Newsmax researched the list of influential Jewish Republicans, which included Elliott Broidy, while comparing the past Presidential elections to the percentage of Jewish votes. In 1992, Republican President George H.W. Bush won just 11 percent of the Jewish vote in his unsuccessful re-election bid against Bill Clinton. By 2008, GOP candidate John McCain brought in 22 percent of the Jewish vote, and in 2012 Mitt Romney won 31 percent of that vote, clearly indicating Republicans have been gaining support in the Jewish-American community.

Newsmax noted that another sign of growing GOP support among Jews, in large part due to dissatisfaction with President Barack Obama's policies toward Israel: In April, the Jewish Republican Coalition hosted 800 members at its annual spring meeting at The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino in Las Vegas. Two years ago, the same gathering drew less than 400.
