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.

Two reviewers, reading the public record as a whole, agree: In a 2026 voter-guide survey she calls the U.S.-Israel relationship "a vital strategic alliance and a moral imperative", without saying where she stands on U.S. weapons and funding for the government of Israel. Reviewed by hand on 2026-10-09. This candidate has no recorded tracked floor votes.

Angel has not spoken publicly on U.S. weapons or money to the government of Israel, or on U.S. aid to Palestinians. In her 2026 survey she called the U.S.-Israel relationship "a vital strategic alliance and a moral imperative" and Israel "a democratic beacon and key ally."

Deep Dive

We found no statement from Genevieve Angel, a family nurse practitioner and healthcare executive running for CA-44, on U.S. military aid or weapons transfers to Israel, and none on U.S. aid to Palestinians.

Her only in-scope material is the iVoterGuide candidate survey for the 2026 cycle. There she called Israel "a democratic beacon and key ally" offering security assurances, described the U.S.-Israel relationship as "a vital strategic alliance and a moral imperative," and strongly agreed that "Islamic terrorism is a threat to the United States' national security." The survey does not ask, and she does not say, what she would do about U.S. weapons or money to the government of Israel.
