Tier 1/2, between “Firmly pro-Israel” and “Mainstream pro-Israel”
First-time Republican nominee whose campaign platform lists, under foreign policy, “Yes to the protection, defense & alliance with Israel” alongside “America First” — the only Israel line in it. She repeated it in a July 2026 Facebook reply quoted by Denverite (“Yes to the protection, defense & alliance with Israel”) and has not agreed to press interviews, including CPR News’s voter-guide interview, which asked the district’s candidates about future aid to Israel and to the Palestinian people.
A 1/2, not a clean 1. The record is a single platform line of unqualified support for Israel’s “protection, defense & alliance” with no daylight and no expressed concern for Palestinian civilians — the textbook 1/2. Nothing reaches leadership on the issue: no office, no authored legislation, no lobby fundraising or hardline brand. Thin record and low confidence; her own survey also lists “no to forever wars”, which is not an Israel-specific position and is not weighed here.
