D · U.S. House, WA-6 · Tier 3
Tier 3, “Pro-Israel, critical”
First-term member (sworn in Jan 2025) who was an original cosponsor of the Ceasefire Compliance Act (Feb 2026) and of Castro’s Stop the Settlements Act sanctioning West Bank settlements (Oct 1 2026), and who cosponsored UNRWA restoration (Dec 2025) and McCollum’s bill defending Palestinian children living under Israeli military occupation (Jun 2026). She voted Aye on the July 2026 Massie amendment, saying “the risk of approving more offensive military aid without any guardrails is too great” and “That means no more additional funding for offensive weapons,” and joined a 27-member statement that “existing human rights conditions on the use of American security assistance have not been meaningfully enforced” and that the occupation has been enforced through “arbitrary detention, torture, and extrajudicial killings.” In August 2025 she called for an end to the war and the blockade, writing “I refuse to accept the false choice between supporting Israel's security and opposing the starvation of children”; she voted against the January 2025 ICC-sanctions bill and the 2026 anti-boycott bill, and against the 2025 Greene amendment to cut Israel’s missile-defense aid. In 2025 she signed the March letter demanding answers on the detention of student activist Mahmoud Khalil and, with most House Democrats, the September Schneider–Raskin letter to Netanyahu and his ministers opposing annexation of the West Bank; in January 2026 she signed the Welch–Khanna letter urging Secretary Rubio to warn Israel off annexation bills and the E-1 settlement, condemn de facto annexation through settler violence and forced displacement, and reimpose Biden-era West Bank sanctions. In September 2026 she signed the Dexter–Ruiz letter seeking the release of Gaza pediatrician Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya from Israeli detention without charge (Sep 8) and a 72-member letter urging Netanyahu to contain settler violence in the West Bank and “halt further settlement approvals” (Sep 24). In June 2026 Randall signed a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, led by Reps. Becca Balint and Joaquin Castro, on Israel’s operations in southern Lebanon, saying Israel’s “targeted, mass destruction of civilian homes and infrastructure does not constitute Israeli self-defense” and asking that, if U.S.-origin arms were confirmed in those operations, the administration “stop arms transfers being used in these operations until these violations cease”; the letter also affirmed that “Israel has a right to defend itself.” Jewish Insider reported on Oct 23, 2026 that Randall was among about 30 signers of a draft letter, led by Rep. Ro Khanna and gathering signatures through Nov 6, urging the negotiators of the 2027 defense authorization bill to strip its U.S.-Israel defense-technology cooperation provisions; the draft, which cites Israel’s conduct in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon, says “These are not the actions of a government whose defense establishment should be granted deeper access to American military technology, nor rewarded with U.S. defense contracts,” and asks that any framework kept “carry human rights conditions consistent with those governing other United States security assistance.”
A 3. In under two years she has taken two steps aimed at the weapons: an original cosponsorship of the Ceasefire Compliance Act (February 2026) and an Aye on the July 2026 Massie amendment, which she explained in her own words: “That means no more additional funding for offensive weapons.” Around them sit a 27-member statement she joined, saying U.S. human-rights conditions on security assistance “have not been meaningfully enforced,” cosponsorships of settlement sanctions, UNRWA restoration and McCollum’s Palestinian children’s rights bill, and concern for Gaza’s civilians in her own voice (“the starvation of children,” August 2025). What holds her at 3 is that she has not cosponsored Block the Bombs and has not used the word genocide about Gaza; she also voted against the 2025 amendment cutting Israel’s missile-defense aid, which failed 6–422. As a first-term member she cast none of the 2023–24 votes. Counter-case: 3/4, since the offensive-weapons principle she stated for the Massie vote reads close to Block the Bombs, she voted against the 2025 ICC-sanctions bill and the 2026 anti-boycott bill, and in October 2026 she signed Ro Khanna’s draft letter, reported by Jewish Insider, urging Congress to strip the U.S.-Israel defense-technology cooperation provisions from the defense bill because of Israel’s conduct in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon.
