D · U.S. House, CA-37 · not rated
No position on Israel itself found. A 28-year-old mother and former Santa Monica public-safety oversight commissioner challenging Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove in a Democrat-versus-Democrat general, she runs on universal healthcare, housing and democracy reform; her Foreign Policy page calls U.S. foreign policy “cruel and lethal” and lists “End Foreign Aid + total arms embargo” and “Enforce Leahy Law and Foreign Assistance Act” without naming any country.
Not rated: her foreign-policy planks are blanket — ending all foreign aid and an arms embargo with no country named — and a blanket stance is rated only on what she says about Israel itself, which is nothing on her site, her Ballotpedia survey or in coverage found. A statement applying the embargo to Israel would put her toward the critical end. Unrated until a position is stated.
