Tier 3, “Pro-Israel, critical”
Asked in iVoterGuide’s 2026 general-election questionnaire whether the U.S. relationship with Israel is important, he answered: “Yes, but not as currently structured. Decades of unconditional aid bypass real congressional debate under Article I. No ally should get a blank check regardless of conduct. That’s especially true when US weapons and dollars are tied to mass civilian death in Gaza that many call genocide. I’d end unconditional aid, not the relationship itself.” A Wichita data engineer and small-business founder running as a Libertarian for “a foreign policy of peace, trade, and non-entanglement”: “Bring the troops home. Stop nation-building. End unconditional foreign aid. Restore Article I.”
A 3, on a thin record: one questionnaire answer, from 2026. Asked by iVoterGuide whether the U.S. relationship with Israel is important, he wrote: “Yes, but not as currently structured. … No ally should get a blank check regardless of conduct. That’s especially true when US weapons and dollars are tied to mass civilian death in Gaza that many call genocide. I’d end unconditional aid, not the relationship itself.” Aid held to a test of Israel’s conduct, argued on Gaza’s civilian deaths, is conditioning, the shape of the Block the Bombs Act, not an end to aid: “Diplomacy and trade can continue,” under “the same standard I’d apply to any nation receiving American tax dollars.” The genocide charge is what “many call” it, not his own. His campaign site, 2026 Ballotpedia survey and campaign blog never mention Israel, Gaza or Palestine; the site’s call to “End unconditional foreign aid” names no country. Counter-case: 3/4, since he ties U.S. weapons to “mass civilian death in Gaza” and raises the genocide charge, which goes further than a bare call to condition aid.
