But What Can You Do? tracks where 2026 candidates stand on U.S. weapons and funding for the government of Israel. How we check
Jason Crow
- Backed with $15K by PACs we track that support U.S. weapons funding for the government of Israel (lifetime)
- Sits on House Armed Services
Crow’s votes point both ways. He led 86 members urging enforcement of the laws governing U.S. weapons when Israel restricted humanitarian aid into Gaza, and in July 2026 voted for the amendment cutting aid, explaining it with three colleagues while affirming Israel’s right to exist.

Deep Dive
Crow represents Colorado’s 6th District (Aurora) and is the sitting member, an Army Ranger veteran and the ranking member of an intelligence subcommittee.
His recorded votes on the tracked bills appear as badges on this card and point both ways: against the November 2023 standalone bill, for the April 2024 package, against the May 2024 shipment-release bill, against the amendment striking Israeli Cooperative Programs funding, and in July 2026 for the Massie amendment barring FY27 funds. The joint statement explaining that vote, with Representatives Pettersen, Neguse and DeGette, reads: "Today we voted against additional taxpayer-funded military aid being given to Prime Minister Netanyahu’s government. We support Israel’s right to exist and defend itself."
His through-line is legal enforcement on transfers. In May 2024 he and Representative Deluzio led 86 members urging the administration to enforce National Security Memorandum 20 and Section 620I of the Foreign Assistance Act, citing "the deepening humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip"; in December 2024 he was among 77 House Democrats accusing Israel of violating U.S. arms-sales law over restrictions on humanitarian aid delivery. His December 2023 letter to the intelligence director on arms-transfer standards is on the research page.
His aid-to-Palestinians record runs through those same letters: enforcement of U.S. law so humanitarian aid moves.

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.
Voted to send weapons or funding in some, but no more than half, of their recorded tracked votes. (Supported sending weapons or funding in 2 of 6 tracked votes.)

Research log
The notes behind this card: what we looked at, what we found, and where each item came from.
U.S. military aid and weapons to Israel
- His recorded votes appear as badges on this card, both ways as the front states; the July 2026 YES on the amendment to cut aid to Israel is grounded by the verified four-member joint statement, which also grounds the same vote on his colleagues’ cards.
- [Position, 2024-05-03] The Crow-Deluzio letter of 86 members, verified on his own release: enforce NSM-20 and Section 620I where Israeli restrictions on U.S. humanitarian aid violate the laws governing arms transfers.
- [Position, 2024-12-13] The 77-Democrat letter, verified via Jewish Insider, which names him among the leads.
- [Position, 2024-03-06] His Washington Post interview urging the administration to apply "existing standards" to weapons transfers; the Post’s page could not be read by us and the wording is as our research recorded it. It is not yet confirmed.
- [Reaction window, 2023-12-20] The letter to the Director of National Intelligence on restrictions and standards for transfers. Not on the card summary; it is the start of the enforcement through-line and sits here with its date.
U.S. aid to Palestinians
- The NSM-20/620I letter above is his operative position: U.S. law must be enforced so American humanitarian aid reaches Gaza. Verified.
Characterization of the conflict
- [Position] His statements on the conflict and on escalation appear via his own releases and a J Street round-up; dates checked per item, nothing quoted beyond the verified material above.
Related rhetoric and lobbying
- Tracked funding totals appear as a badge on this card (no tracked-committee support recorded this cycle).
