On July 2, 2003 JTA News reported that "The White House has named domestic policy adviser Tevi Troy as the administration’s new liaison to the Jewish community... Troy was a policy director for Attorney General John Ashcroft when Ashcroft was a Republican senator from Missouri. He publicly defended Ashcroft against criticism from Jewish leaders during Ashcroft’s confirmation hearings for the attorney general post in 2001... Troy, who was sworn in Monday, will retain his domestic policy portfolio but will also assume responsibility for dialoguing with the Jewish community on domestic and foreign affairs issues. He replaces Adam Goldman, who had served as liaison since Bush came to office but who announced in the spring that he was leaving the White House for the private sector... Nathan Diament, director of the Orthodox Union’s Institute for Public Affairs, called Troy 'philosophically very much a political conservative.'"
