WASHINGTON—Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) named New York Rabbi and active Democrat donor Sharon Kleinbaum to the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) to replace a commissioner who was recently indicted.
“We welcome the appointment of Rabbi Kleinbaum to USCIRF,” said USCIRF Chairman Tony Perkins in a Dec. 19 statement. Perkins, who is president of the Washington-based Family Research Council, was appointed to the commission by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).
