Risa Lombardo
Lombardo won the 2026 Green primary over party leadership's opposition. Her issues page carries the national Green platform: "Our country's long wars and worldwide military presence are immoral and unsustainable," naming no recipient. Nothing mentions Israel, Gaza, or Palestinians; no position on U.S. weapons or aid was located.
Lombardo was a Republican precinct committeewoman until early 2025, then registered Green and won the party's July 21, 2026 governor primary. Party leadership opposed her: the Arizona Green Party's endorsement slate rejected her, and coverage described a nominee her own party called a sham.
Her issues page, which we read in full, reproduces the national Green Party's Four Pillars and Ten Key Values, including "Our country's long wars and worldwide military presence are immoral and unsustainable" and "Our military budget must be cut dramatically." Those lines name no country, no recipient, and no conflict. She has not said what the United States should send, fund, or withhold in this conflict.
If you want her actual position, you are better placed to get it than we are: ask Lombardo directly, or at a candidate forum, and send us the reply. It goes on this page in her own words.
