Doug Jones
Doug Jones (D), former U.S. Senator from Alabama (2018-2021) and 2026 Alabama gubernatorial candidate, compiled a pro-Israel, anti-boycott record in the Senate: he voted for S.1 (2019), the Strengthening America's Security in the Middle East Act, which included the Combating boycott-divestment-sanctions (Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions) Act and reauthorized U.S. security assistance to Israel. (He is also reported to have cosponsored the U.S.-Israel Security Assistance Authorization Act of 2018 and the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act, but those cosponsorships could not be independently verified this session — see verificationNotes.) In a 2019 speech he called Israel one of America's best allies and warned against using the relationship as 'a political weapon.' No statements on U.S. military aid/weapons to Israel, Gaza, conditioning, UNRWA, anti-boycott law, Israel bonds, or trade were found from his 2025-2026 gubernatorial campaign, which has centered on domestic issues. Reported to be the Democratic general-election nominee (per Ballotpedia; not independently re-verified this session).
