Jewish Community Leader Dov Hikind Endorses Florida Congressional Candidate Bryan Leib

By FrumNews.com

Hollywood, FL — Pro-Israel Floridian Jewish Republican Congressional candidate Bryan E. Leib of Broward has been creating a stir after taking on to unseat the former chair of the Democratic National Committee, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (who voted for the Iran deal, among many other anti-Israel bills).

The Broward district includes major Jewish communities, including Hollywood, South Ft. Lauderdale, Davie, Cooper City, Weston, Hallandale Beach and Hollywood Lakes.

On Friday morning, former Brooklyn Assemblyman and founder of Americans Against Antisemitism, Dov Hikind, announced that he is endorsing Bryan’s candidacy in Florida’s 25th Congressional District.

The high-level Jewish endorsement paves the way for Askunim and Jewish leaders to endorse Leib ahead of the August 20th Republican Primary.

“I know Bryan. He is an amazing guy, a great American. He loves this country. He’s a proud Jew, an amazing supporter of Israel,” Dov Hikind said in a video on Twitter. “We need people like Brian in the United States Congress, and we need to remove, to get rid of those individuals who talk but don’t take action. Action that is needed on behalf of the Jewish people, on behalf of Israel.”

“Debbie Wassiman-Schultz, her record is not one that I could ever support,” Dov added. “So Brian is the guy in the Jewish community, everywhere. He is just the good guy, and I’ve had the pleasure of working with him in Americans Against Antisemitism. He’s a star. Vote for Brian Leib.”

“I am honored to have the blessing and endorsement from one of America’s most influential Orthodox Jews, Dov Hikind,” Bryan Leib told FrumNews.com. “Dov has dedicated his entire life to combating Antisemitism and supporting the people and land of Israel.

“In Congress next year, I will aim to follow in Dov’s footsteps to stand tall with Israel and to hold those accountable to traffic in Antisemitism,” Bryan added. “I look forward to joining Congressman Kustoff and Congressman Miller as the third Republican Jewish Congressman.”

As previously reported on FrumNews.com, Leib has recently outlined his policies platform, including support for Pro-Religious Freedom and School Choice, standing in support of Israel and combating anti-Semitism.

He has received numerous endorsements from Trump-endorsed congress members Cory Mills and Byron Donalds, as well as former Ambassador Richard Grenell. He also received the support of Randy Fine, Florida’s sole Jewish Republican serving in Florida’s House of Representatives, who endorsed Bryan last month.

“I am proud to endorse Bryan Leib for Congress,” Fine said at the time. “There are only two Republican Jews serving in Congress, and we need to make it three because we need voices that are going to stand up to the woke left, Rashida Tlaib, AOC and the Anti-Semitism in Congress. I know he will do that, so I am proud to support him.”
