Tier 3, “Pro-Israel, critical”
In an October 2026 WVXU interview he said “I don’t support the situations in the Middle East” and “I think we’re on the wrong side of history with the Israel and Gaza conflict,” pointing to an administration proposal “to send 40,000 large bombs which have more of an explosive capacity than what was at Hiroshima.” Chair of the Hamilton County Libertarian Party and a former communications director of the Ohio Libertarian Party, he runs on affordability, ending government mass surveillance, abolishing ICE and ending foreign wars; his homepage says he is running to represent Southwest Ohio, “not only AIPAC donors or MAGA supporters.”
A 3, on a thin record: one remark in an October 2026 WVXU interview. Explaining why he is running, he said “I don’t support the situations in the Middle East” and “I think we’re on the wrong side of history with the Israel and Gaza conflict,” pointing to an administration proposal “to send 40,000 large bombs which have more of an explosive capacity than what was at Hiroshima.” That faults the U.S. side in the conflict and objects to a proposed shipment of bombs for their destructive power, but he does not call for ending aid or arms sales. His foreign-policy plank (end ongoing conflicts, cut bases abroad, “stop acting as the world police”) names no country. His campaign site, August 2026 Ballotpedia survey and WVXU’s written survey never mention Israel or Gaza, and he left iVoterGuide’s 2026 questionnaire unanswered. Counter-cases: 3/4, since “wrong side of history” faults the U.S. role in the whole conflict, not one sale; or 4, since he argues from the bombs’ destructive power, not from cost.
