R · U.S. House, LA-5 · Tier 1/2

Tier 1/2, between “Firmly pro-Israel” and “Mainstream pro-Israel”

Position

Asked in her iVoterGuide questionnaire whether the U.S. relationship with Israel is important, she answered: “Yes. 1) They are God’s people 2) They are a trusted ally with a strategic location.” A healthcare consultant, two-time Trump delegate and Gov. Jeff Landry’s appointed chair of the Louisiana Board of Regents, she runs to “Stand with Trump” against the “Radical Left” on taxes, border security, school choice and faith-and-family issues.

Why this tier

A thin 1/2, on one questionnaire answer. Asked by iVoterGuide in 2026 whether the U.S. relationship with Israel is important, she wrote: “Yes. 1) They are God’s people 2) They are a trusted ally with a strategic location.” That is unqualified support, and the theological frame strengthens it rather than qualifying it; she says nothing on Gaza, Palestinians, military aid or weapons. On a thin record: that one answer. Her campaign site (home, Platform, About, News) and Ballotpedia profile (no survey) contain nothing on Israel, Gaza or Palestine, and at a September 2026 PAR Louisiana forum she backed the war on Iran without mentioning Israel. In the same questionnaire she chose the view that the U.S. “has become too involved in others’ policies,” a general foreign-policy stance, not daylight on Israel. No act of hers on the issue is on record, and her FEC filings show no pro-Israel PAC money in 2022, 2024 or 2026. Counter-case: unrated, since the whole record is one questionnaire line.
