Seamus O'Toole

I · U.S. House, NJ-7 · Tier 3/4

Tier 3/4, between “Pro-Israel, critical” and “Critical / conditions aid”

Position

An independent from Clark whose only known public statement is his campaign slogan, which is also his ballot designation: he appears on the NJ-7 ballot as “Stop Israel’s Genocide.” He has no campaign website or Facebook campaign presence, WHYY found no record of public comments on domestic issues and he did not answer its interview request; he survived a Democratic petition challenge in June 2026.

Why this tier

A 3/4, on the thinnest possible record. He names the genocide in his own words — the slogan he runs under — and has built his candidacy around stopping it, which points toward the critical end; but he has stated no position on aid, weapons or Palestinians, and naming the genocide alone does not carry a candidate past 3/4. Counter-case: not rated, if a three-word slogan is too thin to place him; a public statement on U.S. arms would settle it.
