Tier 1/2, between “Firmly pro-Israel” and “Mainstream pro-Israel”
Calls Israel “one of our closest allies,” grounds the relationship in “shared Christian Judeo beliefs” and says “I support the biblically prescribed boundaries of this Israelite homeland” (iVoterGuide questionnaire, 2026); in his 2024 Senate questionnaire he answered “Absolutely” when asked if the relationship matters. A former American Fork council member and the Independent American Party's 2024 Senate nominee, he runs on constitutional limits, the national debt and undoing the Box Elder data center, with a restrained, defense-first foreign policy.
A 1/2, not a clean 1. In his own words he backs Israel as a close ally on religious grounds and endorses its “biblically prescribed boundaries,” a claim that goes beyond ordinary support, with no concern for Palestinian civilians anywhere in his record — zero daylight, said in both 2024 and 2026. What he lacks is leadership on the issue: no authored Israel measure, caucus role or Israel-centred campaign; these are questionnaire answers in a race run on the debt and a data center. The counter-case for a clean 1 is the biblical-borders claim; his general call for restraint abroad does not cut the other way, since he never applies it to Israel.
