Christopher Mitchell
I · U.S. House, CO-5 · Tier 1/2
Tier 1/2, between “Firmly pro-Israel” and “Mainstream pro-Israel”
A Colorado Springs electrical-engineering contractor and former Republican on the American Constitution Party line, making his third run for CO-5 after a 2023 mayoral bid, he runs on an “America First Worldview,” border enforcement and military strength against “Communist China, Russia, and Iran,” and names Rep. Chip Roy as his model. Asked in iVoterGuide’s 2026 general-election questionnaire whether the U.S. relationship with Israel is important, Mitchell answered: “Yes, the United States' relationship with Israel is greatly valued. The United States and Israel share a common bond politically, strategically, and spiritually. More than just an ally, Israel is Our ironclad partner in promoting Freedom, Strength, and Safety on the world stage.”
A 1/2, on a thin record: questionnaire answers from three campaigns. Asked by iVoterGuide in 2026 whether the U.S. relationship with Israel is important, Mitchell wrote, as he had in 2024, that the two countries “share a common bond politically, strategically, and spiritually” and that “More than just an ally, Israel is Our ironclad partner.” That is an ironclad commitment, with no word on Gaza or Palestinian civilians. In his 2022 questionnaire he marked “Strongly Disagree” on supporting BDS and added: “Israel should not be pressured, in any way, to compromise, withdraw from occupied territories, or remove the separation barrier in the West Bank.” His campaign site (home and About Christopher, with his 2027–2028 legislative goals) and his 2024 Ballotpedia survey (no 2026 survey) never mention Israel, Gaza, Palestine or foreign aid; his foreign-policy content is defense spending and national sovereignty. There is no leadership on the issue: no vote, bill or other act on Israel is on record. Counter-case: unrated until he says more.
