But What Can You Do? tracks where 2026 candidates stand on U.S. weapons and funding for the government of Israel. How we check

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.

No recorded votes on the bills we track. We found nothing in their own words about Israel, Gaza or the war.

Mulder has not spoken publicly on U.S. weapons or money for the government of Israel, or on U.S. aid to Palestinians. No statement was found in source-checked research across 6 sources.

The email has replies@butwhatcanyoudo.org in cc, so we can post their answer on their page in their own words; remove it if you prefer. Keep the subject line as it is, add your name, and send.

Deep Dive

6 sources checked and read, every one listed on the research page. Most candidates at this level have simply never been asked.

You are better placed to change that than we are. Ask Mulder directly, or at a candidate forum, and send us the reply: it goes on this page in their own words, which is worth more than anything we could write about them.

An earlier check had already recorded, with a date, that no position on this question was found here, and that finding is preserved in the record.

The rest of what an initial search returned on the questions with no answer

Each line above is the first sentence of what an initial search returned for that question. Where it said more after that sentence, the whole passage is reproduced here word for word, so the qualification stands on the record alongside the finding. Em dashes are rendered as hyphens to satisfy house style; no wording is changed.

### U.S. military aid and weapons to Israel There are no recorded public statements, policy platform entries, or official actions by Eric Mulder specifically addressing U.S. military aid or weapons sales to Israel. In general candidate surveys (such as his 2022 Ballotpedia Candidate Connection questionnaire), he left specific questions regarding foreign aid and the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement unanswered, though he has articulated broad non-interventionist Libertarian principles opposing foreign military aggression.

### Characterization of the conflict There are no documented personal statements or campaign materials in which Eric Mulder has characterized the Israel/Palestine conflict, the ongoing war in Gaza, or historical Middle Eastern relations.

### Rhetoric and lobbying There are no public records of Eric Mulder making statements or taking positions on Israel-related political rhetoric, lobbying groups (such as AIPAC), or foreign policy advocacy related to the region.
