RJC Announces Expansion of Government Affairs Team

Washington, DC - The Republican Jewish Coalition released the following statement announcing the hiring of Arie Dana as Deputy Director of Government Affairs / Director of Executive Branch Relations. RJC CEO Matt Brooks said:

The RJC is proud to announce the expansion of our government affairs team with the hiring of Arie Dana as Deputy Director of Government Affairs / Director of Executive Branch Relations.

The RJC had record-setting successes in the 2024 election–moving a historic share of the Jewish vote to President Trump and the GOP as part of the winning coalition for the Presidency, US Senate, and House of Representatives. We are more engaged and committed than ever to deliver for the Jewish community and pro-Israel patriots across our country.

Arie brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the RJC, including 15 years working with California Congresswoman Michelle Steel, most recently as her Chief of Staff on Capitol Hill. Arie led the office to move bipartisan pieces of legislation forward, including ramping up sanctions on Iran, combating antisemitism, and unleashing America’s economy.

Arie’s hiring as Deputy Director of Government Affairs / Director of Executive Branch Relations highlights the incredible growth and increasing scope of the RJC’s critical work with the new Republican trifecta government in Washington DC. 

Welcome to Team RJC, Arie!
