2026 Midterm Roster: Palestine, Genocide, and Zionism

About this roster & how to read it

A New York–centric roster: New York races — statewide, U.S. House, State Senate, Assembly, and city — alongside national U.S. House and Senate candidates, placed on a six-tier spectrum from firmly pro-Israel to most critical of Israel. Filter by region and band; tap any column to sort; tap a candidate to open the full race and compare opponents. See also the 2026 NYC primary head-to-head guide.

How to read the scale — a spectrum, not a ranking. The number marks how far a candidate sits from the pro-Israel pole. Tier 1 isn’t “first place” and Tier 6 isn’t “last” — neither end is the top; they’re two ends of a line.

Congressional voting record companions. The tier placements draw on House and Senate roll calls tracked in two linked documents: the signal ledger (every voter and sponsor, filterable by name or state) and the roll-call index (every congressional vote behind the tiers, with source links).

Scope — who is tracked. This roster places candidates who have taken a documented position on Palestine and Israel or who have been targeted by the tracked pro-Israel and Palestinian-rights money and endorsement networks. It is not a complete list of every candidate in every race. A candidate's absence is a scope choice, not an oversight; a Tier 0 / NR marking means no individual position is yet on the public record — not that the candidate is neutral or that the entry is wrong.

Full method — How the Ratings Work. · Source audit — how sources are ranked, and where nothing higher-ranked exists. Ratings are presumptions, not formulas — a starting placement the candidate's own documented record can override. The scale runs Tier 1 (firmest pro-Israel / Zionist) to Tier 6 (anti-Zionist support for Palestine); Tier 0 / NR means no documented individual position. The methodology page has the six-tier definitions, the money and endorsement caps, what Tiers 5–6 require, and how the computed Base /10 grade is built — with twenty worked base→tier examples.

Lobby (gen-us). The table’s Lobby column shows the gen-us.space allegiance score (0–100, higher = more aligned with the pro-Israel lobby) beside the member’s all-cycle pro-Israel lobby total. A red dot marks money from AIPAC/DMFI that is relevant to the money cap; the total also includes J Street and community PACs, which the cap does not count — see the money rule. A ✓ marks TrackAIPAC-approved members. Shown for the 134 sitting members matched so far; each links to the gen-us profile. Ideology (GovTrack) — the 2024 left–right report-card score (0.00 = most left, 1.00 = most right; 118th-Congress members only) — now lives in each candidate’s detail panel.
