Tier 1, “Firmly pro-Israel”
A firm pro-Israel Republican with a maximalist register (Israel is “fighting terrorist organizations for its existence”). AIPAC-endorsed, a Hamas-financing cosponsor, and a cosponsor of the marquee anti-UN Stand With Israel Act and the Jewish American Security Act, on the Bipartisan Task Force to Combat Antisemitism. She is the sponsor of the CAMPUS Act and the No Visas for Anti-Semitic Students Act (both February 2024; the visa bill reintroduced in April 2025), the University Accountability Act (April 2025) and the American-Hellenic-Israeli Eastern Mediterranean Counterterrorism and Maritime Security Partnership Act (March 2025). In January 2024 she signed the Smith–Manning letter, whose signers “thoroughly reject” South Africa’s “charge of genocide” against Israel.
A clean 1. She writes her own bills on the issue: the CAMPUS Act and the No Visas for Anti-Semitic Students Act (February 2024; the visa bill reintroduced in April 2025), the University Accountability Act (April 2025) and the American-Hellenic-Israeli Eastern Mediterranean Counterterrorism and Maritime Security Partnership Act (March 2025). She also cosponsors the Stand With Israel Act and the Jewish American Security Act, frames Israel’s war as a fight for its survival, and her votes are zero-daylight.
