My theory is that there are not that many non-Orthodox Jews who are socially conservative enough to run as Republicans, even if they are willing to vote for Republicans.  And Orthodox denominations tend to live in liberal areas, but there also could be something else- that they don't pass for WASPs (or being a member of the mainstream culture, if you will).  There are very few Republican politicians that are not culturally WASPs (even the Mormons, Catholics, Jews, and Hispanics in the GOP caucus don't seem culturally any different from your average WASP- and, really, neither does Tim Scott or Mia Love).  Notice that almost all successful GOP Jewish politicians do not have Jewish last names.
