Tier 1/2, between “Firmly pro-Israel” and “Mainstream pro-Israel”

Position

Webb County Judge since 2015, he switched from Democrat to Republican in December 2024 and has Trump’s endorsement. His campaign site’s “Foreign Policy: America First, Peace Through Strength” plank lists “Standing with our allies, including Israel” alongside “Confronting hostile regimes that threaten American security” — his only reference to Israel; he has stated no view on aid, weapons or Gaza.

Why this tier

A 1/2, on a thin record: one campaign-site bullet. His campaign site’s “America First, Peace Through Strength” plank lists “Standing with our allies, including Israel” beside “Confronting hostile regimes that threaten American security,” and his Ballotpedia profile repeats the same plank. That is support for Israel as an ally, with no leadership on the issue and no word of concern for Palestinian civilians. He has stated no view on U.S. military aid, weapons, Gaza or Palestinians; nothing else on his campaign site or Ballotpedia profile addresses Israel.
