Jamie Joyce
Joyce's campaign platform lists "stop sending weapons to Israel" among her policy goals and calls to "end the genocide in Gaza." Her platform separately says she refuses AIPAC money, a campaign-funding decision distinct from any weapons or aid position.
Joyce's campaign platform lists as policy goals to "stop sending weapons to Israel" and to "end the genocide in Gaza." Both bullets were verified on her site on 2026-08-10; the page itself is undated. The direction is explicit: weapons now going to the government of Israel would stop.
The same platform lists "refusing AIPAC money and pro-Israel PAC endorsement (unlike the incumbent)". That is a decision about who funds her campaign, separate from any weapons or aid position. She also proposes to "end foreign influence in our elections" through her Mass Accountability in Democracy (MAD) Act, alongside general critiques of dark money and corporate PAC lobbying.
The first search found no statements from Joyce on U.S. aid to Palestinians and no statements on antisemitism or Jewish community safety. Before her candidacy, in March 2021, she spoke about leading a Wikitongues project documenting endangered Jewish languages such as Ladino, coordinating with speakers in Israel; the cited article would not open, so that item is flagged on the research page.
