White House Office to Combat Antisemitism




Proposal for the Creation of a White House Office to Combat Antisemitism

Jewish Americans are facing harassment, vandalism, intimidation and violence. And too often the government's response is fragmented, slow and invisible to the public. Despite the documented rise of antisemitism in the United States and around the world. There is no permanent White House office solely dedicated to confronting this growing threat. While agencies like the State Department and the Domestic Policy Council play supporting roles. Their efforts are disconnected, reactive and largely unknown to most Americans.

We need a permanent, visible and high level response. That is why I am proposing the creation of a White House Office to Combat Antisemitism. Housed within the Executive Office of the President. This office would serve as the center of gravity for federal coordination setting national priorities. Aligning agency efforts, measuring results and ensuring the federal government responds to antisemitism with speed, seriousness and accountability.

Why This Office Is Needed

Antisemitism is not only a threat to Jewish people. It is a threat to the rule of law, civil rights and to national security. FBI data consistently shows that Jewish Americans are the most targeted religious group in hate crime statistics year after year. The Anti-Defamation League recorded 6,274 antisemitic incidents in 2025 alone. Including 203 physical assaults the most the ADL has ever recorded in a single year and three murders. Antisemitism is rising on college campuses, spreading across online platforms and deepening inside extremist movements. Yet no single office currently has the authority, visibility or the permanence to drive a comprehensive federal response. Other national priorities drug policy, pandemic preparedness and cybersecurity. Have long had dedicated White House offices to coordinate the government's response. Antisemitism deserves no less.

Right now responsibility is scattered across many agencies. The Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security, FBI, Department of Education, Department of Health and Human Services, State Department and others. Each plays a role. But without a strong coordinating center inside the White House. The federal response remains fragmented, inconsistent, reactive and largely invisible to the American public. A White House office makes the issue impossible to ignore. It gives the federal government a single, authoritative place to set strategy, coordinate action and be held accountable for results.

Mission

The White House Office to Combat Antisemitism would coordinate federal policy and operations across all relevant agencies. Track antisemitic incidents and threats using consistent national metrics. Support prevention through education, community partnerships and targeted training. Strengthen enforcement against violence, threats and unlawful discrimination. And publish transparent, public facing reporting so Americans can see both progress and gaps.

What the Office Would Actually Do

This would be an operational coordinating office. Inside the Executive Office of the President with real responsibilities and measurable outputs.

1. Interagency Coordination and Rapid Response

Establish an interagency working group with senior designees from the DOJ, FBI, DHS, Department of Education, HHS and State Department. Create a rapid response protocol for major incidents involving threats, violence or coordinated harassment. Ensure the White House can immediately mobilize resources when Jewish communities are targeted.

2. Enforcement and Civil Rights Implementation

Coordinate DOJ and FBI support for investigations where conduct crosses into credible threats, criminal harassment, vandalism or violence. Work with the Department of Education's civil rights enforcement division when antisemitism constitutes illegal discrimination in schools and universities. Promote consistent guidance and training for federal, state and local partners.

3. Online Hate, Threats and Propaganda

The government cannot and should not police constitutionally protected speech. But it can and should do the following. Convene major online platforms and establish faster response channels for credible threats. Push for transparency metrics response times, enforcement of existing platform policies. And reporting consistency. Coordinate referrals when content crosses into unlawful conduct threats, harassment, stalking and coordinated intimidation. This approach is both legally durable and operationally serious. It focuses on safety, transparency and enforcement not censorship.

4. Prevention and Public Education

Fund and coordinate evidence based antisemitism prevention programs. Expand training for schools and institutions on recognizing antisemitism and responding effectively. Work with communities to strengthen security where needed. Consistent with civil liberties protections.

5. Public Reporting and Accountability

Publish an annual report on antisemitism trends and the status of federal action. Maintain a public facing dashboard of federal initiatives, programs and measurable progress.

Structure and Leadership

Location: The office would be housed within the Executive Office of the President. Reporting directly to senior White House leadership.

Leadership: Led by a Director with direct access to the President's senior staff. Supported by a professional team covering policy, data and analytics. Interagency coordination, communications and community engagement.

Advisory Council: A bipartisan advisory council would include. Jewish community leaders across denominations, civil rights experts, law enforcement and security professionals. Education leaders and civil liberties representatives to ensure appropriate guardrails.

Deliverables and Timeline

This office should be judged by what it actually delivers not by its existence.

Within 90 days: Interagency operating plan, designated agency liaisons and a national metrics framework.

Within 180 days: Federal guidance package for educational institutions and a best practices toolkit for communities.

Within 12 months: First annual report, public dashboard and measurable performance targets for year two.

Budget and Staffing

Estimated annual budget: $8-12 million. Estimated staffing: 20 full time staff.

This is a modest investment for a major national priority and far less costly than allowing hate driven threats and violence to go unchecked and unchallenged.

Precedent and Why This Can Happen Now

The federal government has created high level White House coordinating offices before when the stakes demanded it. offices designed to align agencies, enforce strategy and deliver results. Antisemitism and hate driven violence deserve that same level of seriousness and commitment.

Congress has recognized this need repeatedly and repeatedly failed to act on it. In the last Congress the bipartisan Countering Antisemitism Act (S. 4091). Introduced by Senators Jacky Rosen and James Lankford with a bipartisan House companion. Would have established a first ever National Coordinator to Counter Antisemitism inside the White House. Overseeing an interagency task force. It was endorsed by more than twenty major Jewish organizations from the ADL to the Orthodox Union. It died when that Congress ended in January 2025 without ever receiving a vote. In May 2026 Senators Rosen and Lankford introduced a new comprehensive bill. The Jewish American Security Act. Which would create an Antisemitism Coordinator at the Department of Education. And invest $1 billion in security for at risk houses of worship and community institutions. Its fate remains uncertain.

That is the pattern. Serious, bipartisan, broadly endorsed legislation. That stalls and dies while the problem grows worse. My proposal does not depend on Congress. A White House Office to Combat Antisemitism can be established by executive action it can happen now. Jewish Americans cannot afford to wait indefinitely for legislation that may never move.

In early 2025 the Justice Department announced the formation of a multi agency Task Force to Combat Antisemitism. That effort is meaningful. But it is not the same as a permanent institutional office. Because it was not created by statute. It can be modified or shut down through administrative action at any time.

There are two ways to establish this office permanently. By statute the more durable path. Which can define authorities and reporting requirements in law. Or by executive action faster to launch. But subject to reversal by future administrations. I support making this office permanent through legislation. So the federal government's commitment does not evaporate with the next news cycle or the next election.

Who Should Lead This Office

I have three candidates in mind for Director. Shai Albrecht, Noa Tishby and Elizabeth Savetsky. My first choice is Shai Albrecht a granddaughter of Holocaust survivors. Who has built a following of hundreds of thousands by confronting antisemitism and misinformation directly. And who was named to Hadassah's 2024 list of American Zionist Women You Should Know. Noa Tishby is a bestselling author and Israel's former Special Envoy for Combating Antisemitism and Delegitimization. Elizabeth Savetsky is a writer and advocate who has used her platform to document and confront antisemitism since October 7.

No disrespect is intended toward the current U.S. Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism or the White House Jewish Liaison. But the reality is that most Americans outside the Jewish community have never heard of them or their offices. That is not a reflection on those individuals it is a reflection of how invisible the fight against antisemitism has become in the halls of power.

More is needed. It is needed now. We need a far more visible office with a far more visible leader. Someone with the reach and the credibility to speak not just to the Jewish community but to every American.

A Personal Word

"Antisemitism is not just a threat to Jews. It is a threat to national security. It is a threat to the very principles that are the foundation of America. When I see what is happening to Jewish people it breaks my heart. This should not be happening anywhere in the world. But to see it happening in America should make every American bow their head in shame." -- Kincaid

Kincaid’s statement on Microsoft job cuts

A Few Words on the Recent Microsoft Job Cuts Let me be clear. I am not attacking Microsoft. And I am not looking to start a fight with them. But I do think some of their decisions deserve a closer look. Stock Buybacks vs. Real Investment Over the past ten years. Microsoft has spent roughly $170 billion on stock buybacks. That practice is not unusual among large corporations. But it raises a fair question. Instead of artificially inflating its own share price. Could some of that money have been put to better use? Invested in people, innovation and in the communities that made Microsoft what it is today? Re-examining the H-1B Visa Program We should also take a hard look at the H-1B visa program. Companies claim that America simply does not have enough skilled workers to fill key roles. Others argue that we do but that many companies prefer hiring from overseas. Because H-1B workers often accept lower wages. The data supports this. Most H-1B workers are paid less than thei...

Kincaid's statement on Olympus Spa " Olympus Spa Is the Hill I'm Willing to Die On "

Let's Save Olympus Spa I was genuinely shocked when I learned what happened to Olympus Spa in Lynnwood. I kept asking myself. How? Why? How is something like this even possible in America? At first  I assumed this would never hold up in court. I thought there was no way the people of Washington had voted for this. And I was right they didn't. The voters never decided this. The state legislature did. They passed a law declaring that a biological male including one with male genitalia could be legally recognized as a woman by the state. And when Olympus Spa a women only business where patrons are nude declined entry to a biological male who identified as a woman. That person filed a complaint with the Washington State Human Rights Commission. The Commission initiated an enforcement action against the spa. Threatening prosecution unless it changed its women only policy. It did not matter that female customers were deeply uncomfortable being unclothed around biological male...

Three Crises, Three Solutions: A Smarter Strategy to End Homelessness "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results." By that standard America's approach to homelessness has lost its mind. We spend more every year. The crisis gets worse every year. The problem is not a lack of money and it is not a lack of compassion. It is that we keep applying one solution to three completely different problems. Homelessness is not one crisis. It is three  addiction, severe mental illness and economic hardship. Each one demands a different response. Until our policy matches the cause to the cure nothing will change. Decades of Failure Billions Spent For decades  agencies from HUD down to county programs have spent billions to fight homelessness. The spending goes up. The promises pile up.

Proposal: No Federal Income Tax for Persons Earning $61,000 or Less

No Federal Income Tax or Tax Filing for People Earning $61,000 or Less Updated July 2026 with the latest IRS, Pentagon and NEA data. Summary This proposal would eliminate federal individual income tax liability for people earning $61,000 or less in total wage income. Simplifying the tax system for tens of millions of working Americans. While having minimal impact on federal revenue. In practical terms anyone earning approximately $29.33 per hour or less. Would pay zero federal income tax and would no longer be required to file a tax return each year.

Yet this group contributes only 3 to 4 percent of all federal individual income tax revenue. Toughly $70 to ...

The Chinese Car Ban: Who Is Congress Really Protecting?

Trade Policy · Affordability · Consumer Rights May 30, 2026 Congress wants to ban Chinese cars from American roads. The proposed Protecting America from Chinese Cars Act would make it official. But the truth is the ban is already here. It just does not have that name yet. The tariffs currently imposed on Chinese electric vehicles exceed 100 percent. That is not a trade policy. That is a prohibition with a price tag attached. I am against it. And I want to explain why. You Are Already Driving a "Chinese" Car and Do Not Know It Volvo is owned by Geely  a Chinese company. Most Americans think of Volvo as a Swedish brand. They buy Volvos because they are safe, reliable and well designed. They did not buy a Chinese car. They bought a Swedish car that happens to be owned by a Chinese company. The world did not end. National security was not compromised. Life went on. Just days ago  Volvo had to go to the Trump administration and negotiate a special exemption just to...

Cruel and Unusual Punishment: Female Inmates Forced to Be in a Cell With Biological Men With a History of Violence

A year ago I called Olympus Spa the hill I was willing to die on. I wrote about a Korean owned women's spa in Lynnwood. Forced by the state to let biological males into a nude, women only space. I also mentioned almost in passing.  A lawsuit by a former inmate named Mozzy Clark who alleged she was repeatedly sexually assaulted. By a male inmate housed at the Washington Corrections Center for Women (WCCW) after he told the state he identified as a woman. That was not a passing detail. It was a preview. On April 27, 2026 the America First Policy Institute filed a federal lawsuit.  Against the Washington Department of Corrections and Secretary Tim Lang. 0n behalf of Fair for All, Inc. and a 28 year old WCCW inmate named Faith Booher-Smith.

KINCAID Exploratory Committee

Today I am announcing my candidacy for Congress in Washington's 1st Congressional District. I have filed official candidacy paperwork with the Federal Election Commission. I am a Democrat challenging fellow Democrat Representative Suzan DelBene. Who has held this seat for more than 12 years. State filing was completed in May 2026 and Kincaid appears on the August 4, 2026 primary ballot. Washington State ranks among the worst states in the nation for retirees largely due to the cost of living. But affordability is unlikely to be a personal concern for Representative DelBene. Like so many career politicians. Her personal wealth has grown dramatically during her time in office. According to Quiver Quantitative. Her net worth has more than doubled since she was first elected from $60 million to an estimated $141.5 million. That may sound extraordinary but it is not unusual. More than half of all members of Congress are millionaires. I am not criticizing anyone simply for being we...
