Meet The Board

Jake Iorio (President)

Jake Iorio joined Log Cabin in 2020. He was born and raised in Orange County, CA. He graduated with a bachelor’s in cinema and television arts from Cal State Northridge and has experience working in the entertainment industry and hospitality. His interest in Log Cabin started in college when he wrote a research paper about the organization in his queer studies elective class (he got an A!). After years of hesitation, he decided to join Log Cabin because he seeks to make a difference in helping shape the conversation and inclusion of LGBT issues in the Republican Party. He also wishes to address how progressive policies have brought about California's high housing costs, homeless crisis, water crisis, burdensome taxes, and over-regulation. He hopes to bring different solutions to the problems his home state and the country face. When he’s not working or doing Log Cabin events, you can find him at your nearby beach with a chair, a good book, and an iced coffee. 

  

Gabe Eisner (Past President '21 - '23)

Gabe Eisner works as a tech consultant and has been involved with Log Cabin since 2016 after a lifetime as a devout Democrat. He attended Tulane University in New Orleans, where he studied linguistics with an emphasis on sociocultural anthropology and gender. Gabe speaks Sign Language and Italian, and loves to travel to new destinations. Gabe's passion is to (1) increase acceptance of the LGBT community within the Republican Party, and (2) bring the national parties together around: media bias, human trafficking, homelessness, child poverty, national debt, climate preparedness, and balancing personal, corporate, and civic responsibility.

 

Matthew Craffey (National Board, Past President)

Matthew Craffey has been active with LCR for the past years, but got his start in LGBT activism in 2000 when he became the youngest member on the board of the Ventura County Rainbow Alliance. In his spare time, Matthew writes political opinion-editorial pieces for various publications, writes and records music, and is active with his local car clubs. He ran for the 50th Assembly District seat in the California State Assembly in 2016, and he currently is the Director of Prospect Management and Analytics for UCLA.
