But What Can You Do? tracks where 2026 candidates stand on U.S. weapons and funding for the government of Israel. How we check
Deborah Ann Meidinger Hosey
Other · U.S. House, Florida District 26
–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.
No recorded votes on the bills we track. We found nothing in their own words about Israel, Gaza or the war.
Nothing located as of September 2026 has Meidinger Hosey taking a position on U.S. weapons or money for the government of Israel, or on U.S. aid to Palestinians. No campaign website or platform of hers could be found, on this subject or any other.

This is an empty record rather than a thin one. She has published no campaign website or platform that we could find, and her profiles on Ballotpedia, BallotReady and GoodParty.org carry no statement of her views on any subject. The press coverage of the race names her only as the candidate without party affiliation. An empty record carries no implication either way.
A personal Facebook account in her name could not be read here. Its address is on her research page.
You are better placed to change this than we are. Ask Meidinger Hosey directly, or at a candidate forum, and send us the reply: it goes on this page in her own words, which is worth more than anything we could write about her.

Meidinger Hosey has never held federal office, so none of the congressional votes this site tracks is hers, and no funding from the committees this site tracks is recorded on this record.

What the campaign site and own pages say
No campaign website could be found. Her campaign committee's statement of organization, filed with the Federal Election Commission on June 10, 2026, gives an email address at the domain damhforcongress.com and leaves the web page field blank; that domain does not resolve.
[Read 2026-09-28] Her Ballotpedia page says she "has not yet completed Ballotpedia's 2026 Candidate Connection survey" and lists no campaign website or social accounts. It records 2026 contributions of $8,924.
[Read 2026-09-28] Her BallotReady profile lists her candidacy and nothing else: no biography, no issue statements, no verified pages.
[Read 2026-09-28] Her GoodParty.org profile is unclaimed and says her platform "will appear here once they claim their profile."
The race
[Read 2026-09-28] The Florida Division of Elections' candidate page for her lists Deborah Ann Meidinger Hosey, No Party Affiliation, for United States Representative, District 26: filed 06/11/2026, qualified 06/12/2026 by paying the qualifying fee, status "Qualified". The Division's current list of federal candidates for the general election carries her under District 26 with Mario Diaz-Balart and Nicole Locklin.
[Read 2026-09-28] Her Ballotpedia page records that Mario Diaz-Balart, the incumbent Republican, Nicole Locklin, the Democrat, and Deborah Meidinger Hosey are running in the general election on November 3, 2026, and that both major-party primaries scheduled for August 18, 2026 were cancelled because each had one candidate.
[Position, 2026-08-14] CBS Miami's guide to the August 18 primaries says she "qualified without party affiliation and will also appear in the general election." It says nothing else about her.

Not on the card, and why
Details of her county employment published by salary-aggregation and contact-data sites. They are not about this question, and this card does not compile personal information from such sites.
