Combatting antisemitism calls Ted Deutch from seeking eighth term in Congress

U.S. Rep. Ted Deutch says he’s leaving Congress to apply his talents to the urgent and growing problem of antisemitism.

Deutch won’t seek an eighth term to become the next CEO of the American Jewish Committee, an advocacy organization founded in 1906.

He’ll be drawing on his foreign policy experience in Congress. The AJC has offices all over the world.

“We have also seen an unprecedented rise in antisemitism in our own country and abroad, and I have been at the forefront of the congressional response as the founding co-chair of the House Bipartisan Task Force for Combating Antisemitism,” Deutch said.
