JFREJ is thrilled to invite all members in good standing to participate in our second round of interviews of candidates seeking our endorsement in 2026! Click here or scroll down to RSVP and join us, even if you can only make it for a portion of the event.

Rough schedule, subject to change: 10am start & prep, 10:30am: Aber Kawas (SD12), 11am: Steven Raga (SD12), 11:30am: David Orkin (AD38), 12pm: Morgan Evers (AD81), 12:30pm: Brian Romero (AD34), 1pm: Eon Huntley (AD56), 1:30pm: debrief + discuss, 2pm: close.

**Participants are strongly encouraged to join for all three interviews.

What to expect? On the call, members will interview the candidates, followed by discussion, with a longer debrief at the end.

Who can participate? Only dues-paying members of JFREJ (a contribution in the last 12 months) are allowed to participate in these interviews. You can check your membership status here: jfrej.org/portal. And you can join or renew your dues here: jfrej.org/join. Please no paid campaign staffers or other candidates on our JFREJ call (you're welcome to be there while your candidate is being interviewed). Check in with Jenna if you're unsure of whether you can participate.

What happens afterwards? After the interviews are over, everyone will have an opportunity to vote in a straw poll about the candidates and whether/how we should endorse. A follow up survey will be sent to all members who attend interviews. The JFREJ Endorsements & Research Team along with Team Planet (our representative member-leader body) will make a final decision.
