Marco Rubio Announces Cross-Party Jewish Leadership Team

The campaign of Senator Marco Rubio is set to announce on Thursday its “Jewish Leadership Coalition,” a group of 150 Republican and Democratic Jewish community leaders supporting the Florida senator’s re-election bid, according to a list obtained by Jewish Insider.

Prominent members of the Jewish leadership team include megadonor Norman Braman, Former Florida House Majority Leader Adam Hasner, Ambassador Mel Sembler, Betty Sembler, Ambassador Ned Siegel, Simon and Jana Falic, Marc Goldman, Bob Diener, and Stanley Tate, among others.

Boca Raton Council Member Scott Singer told Jewish Insider in a statement, “Marco has time and again proven that he is committed to the Jewish community and the State of Israel. In the face of threats to Israel’s security, Marco has been a vocal leader and has always stood for a strong relationship with our important ally. We need a Senator like Marco to continue to fight for a strong America and safer world.”

“Marco is the leader the people of the Jewish community need,” said Sembler.

After winning his party’s nomination in August, Rubio hit his Democratic opponent, Rep. Patrick Murphy, over his support of the Iranian nuclear deal. “Patrick Murphy is an enthusiastic supporter of the nuclear deal with Iran, ” Rubio told his cheering supporters at the Embassy Suites in Kissimmee, Florida after calling his opponent “nothing more than an old-fashioned liberal” who supports ideas that are dangerous for the country. “And he is still a supporter of it even after Iran got $400 million in ransom; even after Iran took three more American hostages after the deal was finalized; even after Iran captured ten American sailors and tried to humiliate them, he still supports that deal.”

Rubio currently leads Murphy by 7 percentage points, according to the latest University of North Florida poll.
