Jenkins, treasurer of the New York State Democratic Committee and chair of the New York State Redistricting Commission, is a tremendous friend of the Jewish community and supporter of Israel. He is also a former chair of the Westchester County Board of Legislators.

Jenkins shared details of his three trips to Israel, his support for the Abraham Accords and efforts to fight all types of hatred, including antisemitism. He explained that whenever people see antisemitism, it shows that there is a deeper problem with hatred in society. He has devoted his life to public service and bringing all people together.
