About Our Speakers
As a member of AIPAC’s senior team in Washington, Ed Miller is one of the foremost experts on elections in the United States. He is charged with overseeing a team who develop relationships with and educate candidates for Congress nationwide prior to their election, ensuring that they are prepared to cast votes on our issues on day one. Ed’s department develops business plans for each congressional district, so the pro-Israel community is best positioned to advance our policy agenda in Washington. They track every race around the country from determining where friends are vulnerable and need our support to fielding better candidates to take on anti-Israel members. Ed began working in politics by conducting public opinion polling for political candidates in the United States and Israel. During that time, he wrote for many national and international publications and spoke on behalf of the Jewish Federations of North America, analyzing political events in the U.S. and Israel. Before joining AIPAC’s national office in Washington, DC, Ed also practiced corporate law.
Congressman Jake Auchincloss is serving his second term representing the Massachusetts Fourth. In addition to his work on the committees for Transportation & Infrastructure and the Select Committee on Strategic Competition Between the United States and China, his areas of focus include healthcare, clean energy, gun violence, and building a strong middle class.
Jake was born and raised in Newton, Massachusetts, the son of a surgeon and a scientist. They showed him the value of curiosity and hard work. From the moment he could read, Jake loved American history.

Upon returning home, Jake continued his service as a three-term city councilor in Newton. While working at City Hall on nights and weekends, Jake built a career in
