Tier 4, “Critical / conditions aid”
She is a business owner and nonprofit founder, and was a state House nominee in 2020. Her foreign-affairs platform pledges to “end American weapons transfers and military assistance used to carry out the destruction of Gaza” — “Not another American bomb for the destruction of Gaza” — and to “end unconditional military aid to Israel,” with any future aid required to “comply with American law, international humanitarian law, and basic human-rights standards” (2026); in her 2025 Ballotpedia survey she recounts telling a voter “it is never ok to bomb starving children while they are waiting in line for food” and “Well at least we agree genocide is bad.”
A 4. Her platform pledges to cut off the weapons and military assistance used to destroy Gaza and to end unconditional military aid to Israel — a clear pledge to withhold offensive arms and condition the rest. The word genocide appears in her own telling only in an anecdote: after telling a voter that “it is never ok to bomb starving children while they are waiting in line for food,” she said, “Well at least we agree genocide is bad.” What holds her short of 4/5 is that the operative pledge stops at conditions: future aid must comply with U.S. and international law, with no embargo on defensive systems and no end to all aid, and she frames the stance as “not hostility toward Jewish people or the Israeli people”; nothing questions Israel’s legitimacy. Counter-case: 4/5, if her argument that working families should not “subsidize another country's military” is read as ending aid altogether.
