But What Can You Do? tracks where 2026 candidates stand on U.S. weapons and funding for the government of Israel. How we check
Tyler L. Davis
Other · U.S. House, Florida District 1
–No Position Found
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.
Tyler L. Davis is running for Florida's 1st District, the Panhandle seat, with no party affiliation, and the Division of Elections lists her as qualified for the November 3, 2026 ballot. She lives in Pensacola. In the candidate survey she filled in for Ballotpedia she describes herself as a woman and mother who has worked in the financial industry for more than a decade and who founded A Pensacola Perspective, a nonprofit built around volunteering and civic engagement. She faces Representative Jimmy Patronis, who won the Republican primary on August 18, and Gay Valimont, the Democratic nominee. She has held no office, so there are no votes on this record.
This is an empty record on these questions rather than a thin one. Her platform page runs through education, the cost of living, insurance, housing, energy, Social Security, Medicaid, community programs, and support for service members and the bases in Northwest Florida; its only reference to the wider world is a line about relying less on foreign manufacturing. She answered every question in Ballotpedia's survey in June 2026, including the one on what she is personally passionate about, and named workforce, education, infrastructure, housing and community development. At an August 3 candidate forum on Pensacola Beach she spoke about parking, federal grants, offshore drilling and the federal budget, and her campaign's weekly newsletter is about county government and jobs. The words Israel, Gaza and Palestinian appear nowhere in anything of hers that was read. An empty record carries no implication either way.
You are better placed to change this than we are. Ask Davis directly, or at a candidate forum, and send us the reply: it goes on this page in her own words.

Research log
The notes behind this card: what we looked at, what we found, and where each item came from.
Our research for this card began with a search run on 2026-09-28, and every page below was opened and read on 2026-10-01 unless the entry says otherwise. Her campaign site was read in full: its home page, its platform page, its about page, its frequently asked questions, its events page, its contact page and its newsletter, D1 Dispatch, through the newsletter's own feed. Her Ballotpedia page and her Candidate Connection answers were read in full, along with a local report of a candidate forum she attended. She has held no office, so none of the congressional votes this site tracks are hers. Bands: Position (2024-01-26 onward), Reaction window (2023-10-07 to 2024-01-25), Earlier record (before 2023-10-07), Undated.
U.S. military aid and weapons to the government of Israel
Nothing located, at any date. The word Israel appears nowhere on her campaign site, in her Ballotpedia answers, in her newsletter or in the forum report. Nothing was found about arms transfers, Foreign Military Financing, the memorandum of understanding, or any bill or amendment on this subject.
[Position; undated live page, read 2026-10-01] Her platform page, headed How I'll Work For You, carries a section headed Defense Communities. It says she wants to "Support military installations as long-term economic and national security assets." and "Protect Florida's leadership in defense, aerospace, cybersecurity, aviation, and advanced manufacturing." Both lines are about the bases and industries in Northwest Florida, and neither concerns weapons or money for any other country.
Our research described her platform as advocating a non-interventionist foreign policy. No such passage was found on any page of her campaign site, in her Ballotpedia answers or in the forum report, so the description is not used.
U.S. aid to Palestinians
Nothing located, at any date. Gaza, the West Bank, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency and humanitarian funding appear nowhere in anything she has published or answered.
Characterization of the conflict
Nothing located, at any date.
Israel-related rhetoric and lobbying
Nothing located from her, at any date. No lobbying organization of any kind is named on her site or in her answers. Her about page says policies should not "serve political narratives or outside interests", which names no organization and is about her district.
Safety and antisemitism (context, not an answer to what America sends)
Nothing located, at any date. Her platform's School Safety section is about schools in Northwest Florida.
What the campaign site and own pages say
[Position; undated live page, read 2026-10-01] Her campaign site's home page is headed "Our Passion.", "Our Pride." and "Our Panhandle." and says she is "running for Congress to bring servant leadership back to District 1."
[Position; undated live page, read 2026-10-01] Her platform page has headings for education (literacy, career and technical education, artificial intelligence, financial literacy, teacher support, school safety, higher education), the economy (inflation, federal spending, the national debt, taxes, homeowners and flood insurance, housing, small business, manufacturing, energy and the grid, Social Security, Medicaid), community programs, and military and veteran readiness. Its two references to other countries are about supply chains: "Encouraging domestic production so America relies less on unstable foreign supply chains." and "Reducing dependence on foreign manufacturing for critical industries."
[Position; undated live page, read 2026-10-01] Her about page lists what her platform focuses on: education, jobs and workforce development, infrastructure including broadband and water protection, sustainable innovation, and open dialogue with residents.
[Position, 2026-08-06 to 2026-09-24; read 2026-10-01] Her newsletter, D1 Dispatch, carries six posts, from a report on the August 3 forum to weekly round-ups of county decisions, jobs, schools, transit and gas prices. None mentions foreign policy.
The campaign's frequently asked questions are about collecting petitions to qualify for the ballot, volunteering and donating. Its events page lists coffee meetings and community events in the district.
The race
[Read 2026-10-01] The Division of Elections' record for her lists Tyler L. Davis, No Party Affiliation, for United States Representative, District 1, of Pensacola, filed on 02/13/2026 and qualified on 06/11/2026 by paying the qualifying fee. The page carries a street address and phone number, which are not reproduced.
[Read 2026-10-01] Her Ballotpedia page lists Jimmy Patronis (R), Gay Valimont (D) and Tyler Davis (No Party Affiliation) in the November 3, 2026 general election, records that Patronis won the Republican primary on August 18, 2026 against John Frankman and Douglas Chico, and that the Democratic primary was cancelled and Valimont advanced without appearing on a ballot. It records that she completed its Candidate Connection survey, submitted on June 7, 2026. It also lists her among the withdrawn or disqualified candidates in the April 1, 2025 special election for the same seat, and gives her profession as artist.
[Position, 2026-06-07] Her survey answers describe her as "a woman and mother" who has worked "in the financial industry" for more than a decade and who founded "A Pensacola Perspective, a nonprofit organization focused on strengthening communities through volunteerism, civic engagement, and local partnerships." Her three key messages are about local representation, jobs and skilled trades, and staying engaged with residents after election day. Asked what areas of public policy she is personally passionate about, she named "workforce and economic development, education and career readiness, infrastructure, housing, and community development." Asked who has endorsed her, she named friends, family and coworkers.
[Position, 2026-08-04] Island Times, Pensacola Beach's newspaper, reported a candidate forum held on August 3, 2026 by the Pensacola Beach Chamber and Pensacola Beach Advocates, with answers "consolidated for brevity" by the paper. It gives her introduction as "I’m Tyler Liana Davis, a no-party-affiliated candidate, sixth-generation Pensacolian, finance professional, founder of the nonprofit Pensacola Perspective, mother and community volunteer". Her answers were on beach parking and traffic, federal infrastructure grants, offshore drilling, which she opposes, and the federal budget. No question was about foreign policy.
[Read 2026-10-01] Politics1 describes her as "Project Manager & Community Activist".
Places that could not be read, so nothing is claimed from them
Her campaign's Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61575467512611 , and her account on X, https://x.com/TylerDavis4FL01 , both linked from her campaign site. They were not read: the X account needs a signed-in reader, and the Facebook page was not opened.
A video on her home page of her speaking at a county commission meeting on June 17, 2026, which the page says was against data centers and about representation for rural parts of the county. It was not watched.
Not on the card, and why
Her platform's lines on military installations and the defense industry: they are about bases and jobs in Northwest Florida, not about what the United States sends abroad. Quoted above.
The 2025 special election listing: history of her candidacy, not a statement on this subject.
Jimmy Patronis's and Gay Valimont's records: they belong on their own cards.
