Celeste Maloy
R · U.S. House, UT-3 · Tier 1/2
Tier 1/2, between “Firmly pro-Israel” and “Mainstream pro-Israel”
Voted for every tracked Israel measure since taking office in November 2023 — the February 2024 Israel supplemental (H.R.7217), the April 2024 package (H.R.8034), the bill to force the paused bomb shipment (H.R.8369), both ICC-sanctions bills, H.Res.894 and the September 2026 college anti-boycott bill — and against the 2025 Greene and 2026 Massie amendments to cut Israel’s military aid; she was an original cosponsor of the Antisemitism Awareness Act of 2025. In April 2024 she toured the October 7 attack sites on an American Israel Education Foundation trip for freshman Republicans, saying “There’s just so much destruction, so much hate that it’s hard to wrap my brain around” and, on her return, “we need to be clear that America stands with Israel. The same forces threatening Israel hate the USA”; she signed the Utah delegation’s October 2024 anniversary statement calling Israel “our most important ally in the Middle East region.” None of her own press releases addresses Israel or Gaza, and her campaign platform has no Israel plank.
A 1/2, not a clean 1. The voting record is zero-daylight and her words are supportive — “America stands with Israel,” Israel as “our most important ally” — but she has authored no Israel legislation and holds no caucus role, and a sponsored trip and a delegation statement do not make a hardline brand, so there is no leadership on the issue. The nearest she has come to concern for Palestinian civilians was as a candidate in November 2023: asked when violence against Gaza’s civilians would threaten U.S. support, she said “there would be some point at which we wouldn’t support them if they were committing war crimes,” but “As far as I know, we’re not at that point yet.” Counter-case: none on the present record; her social-media posts were not reviewed beyond what news coverage quotes.
