Jeff Ballabon Appointed Chairman of Jewish Outreach at Faith and Freedom Coalition FFC Begins Grassroots Operation in Jewish Community The Faith & Freedom Coalition announces the appointment of Jeff Ballabon, a media and telecommunications executive, as the chairman of Jewish outreach at Faith & Freedom Coalition. A veteran of Bush-Cheney 2000 and 2004, referred to in the press as “the architect” of the campaigns’ national outreach in the Orthodox Jewish community, the Jewish Daily Forward named Ballabon one of the “50 Most Influential Jews in America” for his political impact. A longtime activist in judicial nominations, he worked closely with the Bush White House on many confirmation battles, including those of Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Alito. In 2007, Ballabon founded the Coordinating Council on Jerusalem, an international coalition of Jewish organizations coordinating with members of the Knesset and pro-Israel Christian groups to oppose the proposed division of Jerusalem. He is a graduate of Yale Law School, Yeshiva University and Ner Israel Rabbinical College. He and his wife Rochelle have five children. “I am very pleased to join the Faith & Freedom Coalition as chairman of Jewish outreach,” said Ballabon. “We have a unique opportunity in this upcoming election to implement a grassroots campaign to identify, register, and mobilize Jewish voters especially in key swing states like Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania. As we’ve seen in New York’s Ninth Congressional District and elsewhere, the Jewish faith community is more motivated and more organized than ever before to elect candidates who are pro-family, pro-faith and pro-Israel.” “We welcome Jeff to the Faith & Freedom team,” said Ralph Reed, founder and chairman of Faith & Freedom Coalition. “His past accomplishments are a testament to the kind of success he’ll have in this significant new role. It is vital that we reach out to all voters of faith who believe we have a moral obligation to support Israel, encourage free enterprise and entrepreneurship, halt out of control spending and stop placing trillions of dollars of debt onto our children’s backs.” The Faith & Freedom Coalition is a grassroots organization committed to supporting America’s core values, such as faith, hard work, marriage, family, personal responsibility, and helping the least among us. FFC is dedicated to educating, equipping, and mobilizing people of faith and like-minded individuals to be effective citizens. FFC members are working nationwide to pursue public policy goals that strengthen families, promote time-honored values, protect the dignity of life and marriage, lower the tax burden on small business and families, and require government to tighten its belt and live within its means.
