Washington, DC (April 21, 2026) – The Republican Jewish Coalition released the following statement from National Chairman Senator Norm Coleman and CEO Matt Brooks, announcing 8 new GOP Senate endorsements for the 2026 midterm election.

We cannot allow the United States Senate to fall into the hands of Chuck Schumer and his band of radical leftists, who will obstruct and destroy our Republican-led achievements. We must defend and expand the Senate Republican majority, and the frontlines of that fight are in these eight key states. All eight of these incumbent Senators and candidates exemplify what it means to be a true conservative fighter for the American people. Each has stood firmly against the rising tide of antisemitism, in support of the US-Israel alliance, and for our shared values. The Republican Jewish Coalition knows that these leaders will deliver on the issues of primary concern to the American Jewish community, and we are proud to endorse them.
