D · U.S. House, TX-7 · Tier 2
Tier 2, “Mainstream pro-Israel”
Votes with the Democratic mainstream apart from a break toward the pro-Israel position on the casualty-figures ban and a Yea on H.Res.894 and a No on the Massie amendment, on both of which Democrats split: she voted for the April 2024 aid package, H.Res.894, the Antisemitism Awareness Act and the June 2024 amendment barring the State Department from citing Gaza Health Ministry casualty figures, and against the July 2026 Massie amendment, but against the Israel-only bills of November 2023 and February 2024 (over the November bill’s offsets and the missing humanitarian aid), H.R.8369, both ICC-sanctions bills and the September 2026 anti-boycott bill. Her statements pair Gaza with Israel's defense: opposing the November 2023 bill, she faulted it for “eliminating humanitarian assistance to vulnerable populations, including the Palestinian and Israeli civilians impacted by the violence of war” while calling for aid “without conditions” (meaning without its partisan offsets), and in February 2024 she said she had backed Israel's right “to defend itself” alongside “humanitarian assistance to those suffering and in harm’s way in Israel, in Gaza, and in the region.” She cosponsored Jayapal's Gaza humanitarian-aid resolution (H.Res.473, Jun 2025), the West Bank Violence Prevention Act (Feb 2026) and a resolution condemning calls to expel Palestinians from the United States (Jan 2024); on the January 2025 ceasefire she said “Israelis and Palestinians deserve security, freedom, opportunity, and dignity.” She co-signed the July 31, 2026 letter to Netanyahu condemning settler violence at Umm al-Kheir, which says soldiers’ actions raise “serious questions about how the Israeli military is abetting extremist violence,” and the August 2026 letter to Secretary Rubio warning that Israel’s dual-use restrictions “bring additional harm to Palestinian civilians.”
A 2. Her votes are mainstream Democratic: a Yea on the April 2024 aid package and Nays on the Republican Israel-only bills, the May 2024 bill forcing the paused bomb shipment, both ICC-sanctions bills and the September 2026 anti-boycott bill, with one break toward the pro-Israel end, on the June 2024 ban on citing Gaza’s casualty figures, and two votes on which Democrats split: a Yea on H.Res.894 (95 Yea, 92 Present, 13 Nay) and a No on the July 2026 Massie amendment (103 Aye to 98 No). She has led no Israel legislation. Her own statements set Gaza’s civilians beside Israel’s right “to defend itself,” but the letters she has signed press Israel’s own conduct: the July 2026 letter to Netanyahu saying soldiers’ actions at Umm al-Kheir raise “serious questions about how the Israeli military is abetting extremist violence,” and the August 2026 letter warning that Israel’s dual-use restrictions “bring additional harm to Palestinian civilians,” beside the Amo and Salinas letters on Gaza and the September 2025 letter of 178 House Democrats opposing unilateral annexation of the West Bank. She cosponsored H.Res.473, calling for urgent humanitarian aid to Gaza’s civilians, and the West Bank Violence Prevention Act. Counter-case for 1/2: these were broad caucus letters, and her own statements always set Gaza’s civilians beside Israel’s right to defend itself.
