Jenny Rae Le Roux
Le Roux's campaign issues page calls Israel the United States' greatest ally and says U.S. support "must be unwavering", warning that abandoning that support would put American lives at risk. She pledges to fight any effort to weaken the relationship.
Le Roux's campaign issues page states her position on U.S. support: Israel is "the United States' greatest ally in the Middle East, and our support must be unwavering", and "abandoning that support would embolden our enemies, put American lives at risk, and create instability across the globe". The page does not name a dollar figure or a specific weapons transfer, and says nothing about U.S. aid to Palestinians.
What is verifiable: on a 2026 iVoterGuide questionnaire she answered "Strongly Disagree" to a statement supporting the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement to pressure Israel over the occupied territories, the West Bank separation barrier, and Palestinian rights.
The same issues page pledges advocacy for the permanent disarmament of Hamas, supports Israel's right to defend itself, opposes the boycott-divestment-sanctions movement, backs writing the IHRA definition of antisemitism into federal law, opposes any return to the Iran nuclear deal, and calls for expanding the Abraham Accords to Saudi Arabia and other regional partners.
