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.
No recorded votes on the bills we track. We found nothing in their own words about Israel, Gaza or the war.
Asked in a 2022 candidate questionnaire whether she supported boycott, divestment and sanctions against Israel if it refused to allow a Palestinian state, Fleming answered "No Answer". She answered many other questions on the same form.

Fleming is an independent candidate for the U.S. Senate in Idaho and has sought the seat before.
Her iVoterGuide questionnaire for the May 17, 2022 Idaho Senate primary put the question directly: "I support BDS (boycott, divestment, and sanction) against Israel if they refuse to allow the creation of a Palestinian state." She answered "No Answer".
She answered many other questions on the same form, including on gun restrictions, immigration enforcement and the Electoral College, so the non-answer is a choice rather than an unreturned form. She has set out no position on U.S. weapons or money for the government of Israel, or on U.S. aid to Palestinians.

Research log
The notes behind this card: what we looked at, what we found, and where each item came from.
Rhetoric and lobbying
2022 [Earlier record; VERIFIED 2026-08-12; leads the card]: In her iVoterGuide questionnaire for the May 17, 2022 Idaho U.S. Senate primary, the statement "I support BDS (boycott, divestment, and sanction) against Israel if they refuse to allow the creation of a Palestinian state" is recorded with her response **"No Answer"**.
She gave substantive answers elsewhere on the same form, so this is a selective non-answer.
U.S. military aid and weapons to Israel
No position located. An initial search also reported that she declined a question on whether the United States should help defend Israel from attack by its enemies; that question is not on the page verified here, so it is recorded and not used.
Verification, 2026-08-12
Read in full, 1,895 words. Her own profile, covering the 2022 Senate primary and an earlier U.S. House race. The BDS item and its "No Answer" are present as quoted.
The generated record, kept
Everything below comes from an initial search’s own notes, written before this card was rewritten, and is kept unchanged so that what was looked for, and what came back, stays on the record. Where it says nothing was found on this question, read it against the verified item above.
What was looked for, and what came back
**U.S. military aid and weapons to Israel:** There are no public statements or actions by Fleming taking a specific position on U.S. military aid or weapons sales to Israel.
**Characterization of the conflict:** There are no recorded public statements or campaign materials in which Fleming has offered a characterization of the Israel/Palestine conflict.
**Rhetoric and lobbying:** There is no record of Fleming making public statements or taking actions regarding Israel-related lobbying or political rhetoric.
**Safety and antisemitism:** There is no record of Fleming making public statements or taking campaign actions regarding antisemitism or the safety of Jewish communities.
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 public statements or actions by Fleming taking a specific position on U.S. military aid or weapons sales to Israel.
In a candidate questionnaire for her May 17, 2022, Republican primary campaign for U.S. Senate, she declined to answer a question on whether the United States should help defend Israel from attack by its enemies. Later, in an education policy statement published on her campaign website on March 11, 2026, she criticized U.S. foreign military expenditures generally, stating, "If we have the money to bomb countries, we have the money to fully fund education," though she did not reference Israel or Israeli military aid specifically.
### Characterization of the conflict There are no recorded public statements or campaign materials in which Fleming has offered a characterization of the Israel/Palestine conflict.
In a candidate survey completed during her November 3, 2020, general election campaign for U.S. Senate, she provided "No Answer" to a question asking whether she supported the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel in the event that Israel refused to permit the creation of a Palestinian state.
### Rhetoric and lobbying There is no record of Fleming making public statements or taking actions regarding Israel-related lobbying or political rhetoric.
