Tier 3, “Pro-Israel, critical”

Position

America First Republican in a rematch with Sean Casten. In January 2026 she told Arab News “I’ve made the commitment that I won’t take AIPAC money”, that “we’ve given a lot of money to fund foreign wars”, and that in Ukraine and the Middle East “we need to work toward peace and stop the killing” with “accountability on both sides”; asked by Shaw Local about intervention in Ukraine, Israel and Venezuela, she said “We should not have our young men and women get involved in any of these wars.”

Why this tier

A flat 3, on a thin record. Nothing in her record is pro-Israel — no right-to-defend language, no aid pledge — and she has publicly refused AIPAC money, which is rare for a Republican; her war language asks for “accountability on both sides”. But her stance is a general America First non-interventionism aimed at Ukraine as much as Israel, with no statement on weapons, aid to Israel specifically, or Palestinian civilians, so nothing reaches 3/4. Counter-case: NR, if this is generic foreign-war skepticism rather than an Israel position; 2/3 if an aid-to-Israel statement surfaces.
