JCRC Voters Guides
As the public affairs arm of the organized Jewish community in the Washington, DC region, the JCRC of Greater Washington has long partnered with Washington Jewish Week to produce Election Voters' Guides to help voters make more informed choices about candidates seeking elected office.
Voters in DC and Maryland will pick party nominees in June for a number of critical races at the local, state and federal levels. Voters' guides were compiled by sending the same questions to each candidate in a contested race for their party’s nomination and who has met minimum requirements to be on the ballot. Their responses are printed in full.
As a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, the JCRC is prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office. The JCRC does not endorse any candidates and does not contribute funds to any candidate for public office.
