Jewish Policy Center

The Jewish Policy Center, founded 1985, is a Washington, D.C.-based think tank tied closely to the Republican Jewish Coalition. [ Homegrown Pundit Appointed to Think Tank, Jewish Exponent, March 08, 2007, by Bryan Schwartzman http://www.jewishexponent.com/article/12378/]

According to Matthew Brooks, director of both the Jewish Policy Center and the Republican Jewish Coalition, the Jewish Policy Center is nonpartisan and focuses solely on issues, both foreign and domestic. "In the past, we've focused on a number of domestic-policy issues, social-security reform, education. But right now, there is so much focus and attention on these critical foreign-policy issues."
