Jon Husted
R · U.S. Senate, Ohio · Tier 1/2
Tier 1/2, between “Firmly pro-Israel” and “Mainstream pro-Israel”
RJC-endorsed; voted No on all six Sanders resolutions to block arms sales to Israel in 2025–26 and on the September 2026 human-rights report request, and is an Iran hawk who cosponsored the Enhanced Iran Sanctions Act, saying “Iranian proxies continue to threaten Israel's survival.” At least $863,531 came to his 2026 campaign through AIPAC’s PAC, most of it individual donations earmarked through the PAC (FEC). An appointed freshman (to Vance’s seat) with a reliable pro-Israel voting record but no signature Israel leadership.
A reliable pro-Israel Republican, placed at 1/2: firm, consistent pro-Israel voting plus a No on the Sanders arms resolutions, but without the leadership on Israel that marks a 1, and with no expressed concern for Palestinian civilians to pull him toward a flat 2. Appointed to Vance’s seat in 2025, his bill portfolio is domestic and he has authored no pro-Israel legislation, letters, or resolutions — a reliable vote rather than a leader on the issue like Risch, Cotton or Hagerty.
