The Republican Jewish Coalition announced on Wednesday the election of Dan Conston of Maryland, David Gemunder of Florida and Charles Spies of Washington, D.C., to the coalition’s board of directors.

Norm Coleman, national chairman of the RJC, commended the new members, stating that each “is an accomplished, dedicated American patriot and a strong defender of the U.S. Jewish community and of Israel.”

He added that he looks forward to working with the three as the RJC continues to “grow and enhance our capabilities leading into the 2026 elections.”

Spies, a prominent U.S. election law attorney, co-founded and served as counsel to Restore Our Future, a conservative super PAC created in support of Mitt Romney in the 2012 U.S. presidential election, and then as counsel to Right to Rise USA in the 2016 election cycle.

Gemunder, an attorney with AEGIS Law in Tampa, Fla., has served on the boards of several high-profile organizations, including Hillel International and Secure Community Network.

Conston, who served as president of the Congressional Leadership Fund for six years, is the CEO of Watchtower Strategy, a public affairs firm specializing in strategy consulting for CEOs and executives, advocacy campaigns and crisis communications.
