Fredrick Love
Love, Arkansas's Democratic nominee for governor, was one of thirty-four state senators who commended Israel on its seventy-fifth anniversary and backed its people's right to defend their country. He has said nothing about U.S. weapons or money for the government of Israel, or aid to Palestinians (research).
Love has served in the Arkansas legislature since 2011, in the House and then the Senate, and is the Democratic nominee for governor.
The one item on this subject with his name on it is a state resolution from the spring before the war. He was one of thirty-four senators sponsoring Senate Resolution 60, which commends the modern state of Israel on the seventy-fifth anniversary of its establishment and expresses support for the Israeli people's right to live in freedom and to defend their land and their country. A resolution carried by most of a chamber supports only its own collective wording, and it says nothing about what the United States should send.
On that question we found nothing from him at all: not on weapons or money for the government of Israel, not on aid to Palestinians, not on the conflict since it began. His campaign site is about school vouchers, Medicaid, a proposed prison and regional economies, and the candidate guide covering his race records no answers from him on any subject.
If you want his position, you are better placed to get it than we are: ask Love directly and send us the reply. It goes on this page in his own words.

Characterization of the conflict
- [Earlier record, 2023-04-06] Sponsored Arkansas Senate Resolution 60, adopted 2023-05-01, commending the modern state of Israel on its seventy-fifth anniversary, recognising its contributions, and expressing support for the Israeli people "for their right to live in freedom and to defend their land and their country". His name appears as "F. Love" among thirty-four sponsors on the resolution's own text, opened and read on 2026-08-18. Predates the war; kept as history. Collective wording only, and no personal statement accompanies it.
- [Aggregator] The same resolution is tracked at BillTrack50, which is where the fresh round found it. The legislature's own document is used instead.

Race and status context
- Democratic nominee facing the incumbent governor and a Libertarian candidate, per Ballotpedia and the Arkansas Advocate's report.
- Platform per his campaign site and that coverage: ending the school-voucher program, protecting Medicaid expansion, opposing a proposed Franklin County prison, regional economic hubs, teacher pay, free school lunches.
- [Consulted, read 2026-08-18] His iVoterGuide profile reads "Did not answer" against every question on the form, including the one on the United States' relationship with Israel. A blank form is a fact about the guide, not a position, and nothing is inferred from it.
- A biographical detail this record flags as unconfirmed: his chamber dates and a former leadership title come from Wikipedia and were not independently re-verified. Not used on the card.
- He has held no federal office, so there are no recorded votes on this card.
