Tier 3, “Pro-Israel, critical”
A 26-year-old business manager running with no party affiliation in FL-19, he campaigns on enlarging the House, restoring congressional war powers and a non-interventionist foreign policy that would “oppose regime-change wars,” without naming any country. Asked in iVoterGuide’s 2026 general-election questionnaire whether the U.S. relationship with Israel is important, Haskin answered: “No. Israel needs American military, financial, and diplomatic support far more than America needs Israel. I oppose permanent alliances generally. In peace, we should pursue friendship and commerce with all nations; temporary alliances should arise only from genuine wartime necessity and end with that necessity. Our special relationship with Israel has caused entanglements and harmed U.S. credibility. Israel should be treated like any nation: peacefully, but with American sovereignty first.”
A 3, on a thin record: one questionnaire answer and one interview. Asked by iVoterGuide in 2026 whether the U.S. relationship with Israel is important, he answered “No”: Israel “needs American military, financial, and diplomatic support far more than America needs Israel,” the “special relationship with Israel has caused entanglements and harmed U.S. credibility,” and Israel “should be treated like any nation.” Ending the special relationship is a pull-back aimed at Israel in particular, though it sits inside a general opposition to permanent alliances, and it proposes nothing on weapons and says nothing about Gaza or Palestinians. Bill Redpath, who would also end the “special relationship,” is a 3. In a July 2026 interview he also said he feels “not so great” about defense-bill provisions he described as integrating the Pentagon with Israel’s intelligence, warning against “entangling ourselves even if it is a political ally” (Coastal Conservative News, Jul 21, 2026). His site’s non-interventionism names no country. Counter-case: unrated, if the answer is read as blanket non-interventionism.
