Tier 3, “Pro-Israel, critical”
Executive director of the Libertarian Party of Missouri, making a second run in MO-2, he runs on “No More Wars”; his 2026 campaign site says: “No more money for Israel, Ukraine, or any other ‘ally.’ We have enough problems of our own.” No statement on Gaza or Palestinians found. In 2024 he ran on bringing all troops home and a non-interventionist foreign policy, faulting both parties for “nation-building and regime change operations across Africa and the Middle East at the behest of foreign entities, the military industrial complex, and the oil industry”.
A 3, on a thin record: one line on his 2026 campaign site. Under “No More Wars,” it says: “No more money for Israel, Ukraine, or any other ‘ally.’ We have enough problems of our own.” That would end U.S. money for Israel, named first, on America First grounds. But the sentence pairs Israel with Ukraine and “any other ‘ally,’” which reads close to a blanket end to foreign aid that names Israel, and he says nothing about Gaza, Palestinians, how Israel wages war or arms sales. His 2024 run, on bringing all troops home, never named Israel: that year’s Ballotpedia survey and campaign site faulted Middle East interventions without naming a country. Counter-case: 3/4, since the line names Israel first among the recipients whose money he would end, in his own words, under his campaign’s first heading.
