David Bocarsly is CEO of Jewish California (formerly JPAC), the Jewish community's unified voice in Sacramento and the nation's largest statewide coalition of Jewish organizations. Jewish California brings together 43 leading institutions – including Jewish Federations, Jewish Community Relations Councils, and Jewish Family Service agencies – to advance the core issues and values of California's organized Jewish community. Since assuming leadership in 2022, David has helped secure over $450 million in state funding for Jewish priorities and advance 57 successful bills, including AB 715 – a first-in-the-nation law addressing antisemitism in California K-12 schools.

Previously, David served as Director of the California Legislative Jewish Caucus, where he created an annual Tikkun Olam bill package, helped establish a widely-accepted statewide Ethnic Studies curriculum, and grew nonprofit security grants from $2 million to $50 million annually. Earlier in his career, he worked for elected officials at every level of government, including U.S. Congressmember Jerry Nadler.

David is an alumnus of the Coro Fellowship in Public Affairs, the Schusterman Foundation's ROI Community, Jewish Federation's New Leaders Project, and America Indivisible's Public Leaders for Inclusion Council. He was UCLA's first kippah-wearing Student Body President and holds a Master of Public Policy and Certificate in Social Justice from USC.

He lives in Los Angeles with his wife Rachel and their son Jesse.
