Eileen Laubacher
Nothing located has Laubacher taking a position on U.S. weapons or money for the government of Israel, or on U.S. aid to Palestinians. A retired Navy rear admiral, her platform is domestic, and her located foreign-policy remarks concern other regional questions, on the research page.
Laubacher is the Democratic nominee in Colorado’s 4th District, a retired Navy rear admiral and former National Security Council senior director challenging the sitting member.
Her own material was read: her platform runs on healthcare, housing, water and agriculture, and does not reach Israel, Gaza, or foreign policy beyond keeping foreign entities out of Colorado farmland. For a national-security professional that absence is itself worth stating plainly, and this card does.
What she has said about the region concerns the 2026 war with Iran (its cost, its munitions drain, and responsibility for American deaths in Jordan), and that material sits on the research page, where its sources and limits are stated. None of it takes a position on aid or weapons for the government of Israel.
Three quotes the research attributed to her about antisemitism and houses of worship turned out to ride on other people’s Facebook accounts so they are not used here.
You are better placed to get an answer than we are: she is a former NSC official who can answer these questions with precision. Ask Laubacher directly and send us the reply: it goes on this page in her own words.
Research
U.S. military aid and weapons to Israel
- Nothing located.
U.S. aid to Palestinians
- Nothing located.
Characterization of the conflict
- [Position, 2026-05-08, read by a volunteer] A post on her campaign account criticizing the Iran war’s $25 billion cost and warning of running short on missiles; a volunteer opened it in September 2026 and confirmed it is her campaign’s post. Not transcribed, so nothing is quoted; Iran material, off the card in any case.
- [Position, 2026-07-19] Her FoxTalk interview: the Trump administration bears "all the responsibility" for U.S. service-member deaths in Jordan; the escalation unnecessary and economically damaging to Colorado agriculture. Verified against the page; Iran-war material, research page only.
Related rhetoric and lobbying
- A campaign video captioned as refusing corporate PAC money is unwatchable; general money-in-politics material in any case. No tracked funding badge appears because no committee support is recorded for her.
Safety and antisemitism (context)
- [Excluded, misattributed sources] Three quotes the research attributed to her ("That is antisemitic and just plain wrong", "Every American from every religion has the right to worship in safety", and "Antisemitism and violence against houses of worship have no place in our country") are cited to **Representative Kustoff’s Facebook posts** (and one to a New York official’s post). Another politician’s account cannot carry her words; excluded entirely. If she has said these things somewhere of her own, send it in.
Where the absence was checked
- [Consulted, read 2026-08-21] Her platform, retrieved: domestic planks only; the only "foreign" reference is Colorado farmland ownership. We checked the campaign’s own site.
- [Consulted] Her Ballotpedia profile and Wikipedia entry; career facts.
Race and status context
- Democratic nominee facing the sitting member, whose card carries its own record. She has held no elected office, so there are no recorded votes on this card.
Also in this race: Lauren Boebert (Republican) · All Colorado candidates.
