Angus Purdy
I · U.S. House, TN-6 · Tier 3/4
Tier 3/4, between “Pro-Israel, critical” and “Critical / conditions aid”
His campaign website’s “More Key Issues” page says, under “Government Spending”: “We need to stop spending billions on unnecessary wars like the war in Iran or the genocide in Gaza.” A Nashville independent who ran for Metro Council District 18 in 2023 (29.7%), he campaigns through his website, Instagram and Bluesky and has no Ballotpedia survey or Vote411 answers.
A 3/4, on a thin record: one line on his campaign website’s “More Key Issues” page, under “Government Spending”: “We need to stop spending billions on unnecessary wars like the war in Iran or the genocide in Gaza.” In his own words he names the genocide and calls for an end to U.S. spending on it. But it is one line in a spending list: it names neither Israel nor military aid or weapons, and his homepage’s section on ending the wars speaks of wars in general. He left every question on iVoterGuide’s 2026 questionnaire unanswered, including the one on Israel; Ballotpedia carries no 2023 or 2026 survey, and his Vote411 entry shows no responses. Counter-case: a 4, since naming “the genocide in Gaza” as the reason to stop the spending makes it an end argued on how the war is fought.
