Tier 2, “Mainstream pro-Israel”
In a Progressive Indiana virtual town hall posted on his campaign’s YouTube channel (February 2, 2026), asked his position on continuing U.S. military aid to Israel, he did not say whether it should continue: he called for “a stable and durable peace,” said “there is a legitimate argument to be made” that a two-state solution “has always been the right answer,” warned that “it is not a good alliance to just rubber stamp anything that your ally does,” and cast Biden’s approach — “here is military aid” alongside warnings that Israel was crossing lines — as the practical one. Asked whether a genocide occurred in Gaza, he said “calling it a genocide is going to alienate us from the ability to have a real impact on making a durable peace,” and that once you use the term “you have just lost an ally of 75 years and the strongest ally that we have in the region.” In a second town hall (posted March 8, 2026) he called it “gut-wrenching to see the videos and the pictures and read the reports of what is happening in Palestine” and said “The United States should be advocating, and with our ally, Israel, for a two-state solution.” A former Navy civilian electromagnetic-warfare engineer and manufacturing manager, he runs on Medicare for All, Social Security and economic fairness; his foreign-policy page attacks pressure on Canada, Mexico, Venezuela and Greenland and urges “restraint, discipline in the use of force, and constitutional boundaries”, without mentioning Israel.
A 2, on a thin record: his answers in two Progressive Indiana town halls on his campaign’s YouTube channel (February and March 2026). In the March one he called it “gut-wrenching to see the videos and the pictures and read the reports of what is happening in Palestine” and said the U.S. should be advocating, with “our ally, Israel,” for a two-state solution. In February, asked about continuing military aid to Israel, he did not say whether it should continue: it is “not a good alliance to just rubber stamp anything that your ally does,” and he credited Biden’s approach, “here is military aid” alongside warnings that Israel was crossing lines. Asked whether a genocide occurred, he said that using the word would lose “the strongest ally that we have in the region.” That is concern for Palestinians with no limit on weapons. His policy pages and Ballotpedia survey never mention Israel, and FEC filings show no pro-Israel PAC money. Counter-case: a 1/2, since he argues against naming the genocide and holds up Biden’s military aid as the practical course.
