How this mark works

We track key votes on sending U.S. weapons and money to the government of Israel. A check means every tracked vote they cast came down against sending more, on the side of peace and de-escalation. A question mark means a mixed record: they sided with sending up to half of the time. An X means they voted to send more weapons and money in over half of their tracked votes, even as the way those weapons and dollars were being used became more and more obvious. At exactly half, money this election cycle from a lobbying group we track, or an endorsement from a group that backs sending weapons, makes it an X. Only votes actually cast are counted. Where a candidate has no recorded votes on these bills, the mark comes instead from a reviewed reading of their public record (money from the lobbying groups we track, endorsements, and their own words since January 26, 2024). There an X also covers fully backing the conduct of the war by the government of Israel without significant reservations, and a question mark also covers speaking about Israel without saying clearly where they stand on U.S. weapons and funding. A dash means No Position Found: we found nothing in their own words about Israel, Gaza or the war.

See a dash? Ask the candidate where they stand, then send us their answer and we'll review it and update the mark. Or volunteer to help review candidates.

Meyers has not spoken publicly on U.S. military aid to Israel or U.S. aid to Palestinians; no statements found in source-checked research. In March 2026 the Israeli-American Civic Action Network endorsed him; the group screens candidates on U.S.-Israel alliance support and opposition to BDS.

Deep Dive

We found no statement from Scott Alan Meyers on U.S. weapons or money to the government of Israel, on U.S. aid to Palestinians, or characterizing the conflict. His own campaign materials focus on public safety and border security.

On March 30, 2026 the Israeli-American Civic Action Network endorsed Meyers in its first round of 2026 endorsements. ICAN says it evaluates candidates on issues including support for the U.S.-Israel alliance, opposition to the BDS movement, and commitment to combating antisemitism. The endorsement is the group's assessment; no corresponding statement from Meyers himself was found.

On March 13, 2026 Jewish News Syndicate reported that California Republican Party figures, including the state GOP chair of Jewish community engagement, recruited Meyers to run in CA-30 to counter a rival Republican candidate scrutinized for rhetoric associated with far-right antisemitic movements. That is reporting about the party's actions, not a statement by Meyers, and it is safety context, not a weapons or funding position.
