2026 Midterm Roster: Palestine, Genocide, and Zionism

⚠ AI-assisted research document — read the disclaimer ↓

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.

AI-Assisted Research Document

This document was produced using Claude (Anthropic), a large language model, under human direction. The researcher helps determine the scope, analytical framework, tier criteria, and candidate list — though has not yet fully specified them. The research, sourcing, candidate summaries, position markers, quotes, and analytical language were substantially written by Claude based on web searches of primary campaign materials, FEC filings, news outlets, advocacy trackers, and legislative records conducted through mid-June 2026.

Content written by AI can contain errors, outdated information, or misattributions. This document has not been extensively fact-checked and is intended as a research starting point, not a finished publication. Candidate placements on the six-tier spectrum are analytical judgments, not objective facts — a different researcher applying the same framework might reach different conclusions.

Readers are encouraged to follow the embedded source links, cross-check candidate positions against primary sources, and treat tier placements as provisional. Positions and records shift; always re-verify close to election day. This document should not be cited as authoritative without independent verification.
