D · U.S. House, TX-33 · Tier 1/2
Tier 1/2, between “Firmly pro-Israel” and “Mainstream pro-Israel”
Former Rep. (TX-32, 2019–25) and 2024 Senate nominee who won the TX-33 nomination by defeating Rep. Julie Johnson in the May 2026 runoff. His House record is mainstream pro-Israel — Yea on the 2021 Iron Dome supplemental, the April 2024 aid package, the IHRA-based Antisemitism Awareness Act, H.Res.894 and the June 2024 amendment barring the State Department from citing Gaza Health Ministry casualty figures — while he voted with most Democrats against the bill forcing delivery of the paused bombs, the ICC-sanctions bill and the Tlaib censure. He was an original cosponsor of H.Res.771 (Oct 2023) and cosponsored H.Res.246, opposing the BDS movement (2019). Declining to back a ceasefire in December 2023, he said the task was to “continue to try and get humanitarian aid into Gaza to try and protect civilians as much as possible — but, understanding, this is a war of choice by Hamas.”
A 1/2, not a clean 1. He is a reliable pro-Israel vote with no leadership on the issue, and his record runs from the 2021 Iron Dome money and the April 2024 aid package to two votes most of his caucus did not cast: Yea on H.Res.894, declaring anti-Zionism antisemitism (with 95 Democrats; 92 voted Present), and Aye on the June 2024 amendment barring the State Department from citing Gaza Health Ministry casualty figures (one of 62 Democrats). His words of concern for civilians each came paired with support for Israel: “limiting the loss of innocent lives” while supporting “Israel in their fight against terror” (October 2023); “humanitarian aid for innocent Palestinian civilians” beside his call to “stand with our ally Israel” (November 2023); a November 2023 letter he signed urging passage of the President’s supplemental request, which also carried military aid for Israel, and saying a humanitarian response is needed “to protect the lives of Palestinians, Americans, and Israelis”; aid into Gaza “to try and protect civilians as much as possible — but, understanding, this is a war of choice by Hamas,” and “Israel has every right to defend itself, but they have to do that within the context of the laws of war” (December 2023). He declined the Texas Democratic Party’s unanimous ceasefire call. Counter-case: a 2, for his Nays on the bill forcing delivery of the paused bombs, the ICC-sanctions bill and the Tlaib censure, cast with most of his caucus and with no stated reason.
