Frank Mrvan
Mrvan’s votes split across the 2023-24 bills but he backed the April 2024 package, telling the House it would “aid in the defense of our ally Israel” and “address the dire need for humanitarian assistance for the people of Gaza”. He voted against both amendments to cut aid to Israel.
Mrvan represents Indiana’s 1st District, the state’s industrial northwest, and is the sitting member.
His recorded votes on the tracked bills appear as badges on this card: against the November 2023 standalone bill, for the February and April 2024 bills, against the May 2024 shipment-release bill, and against both amendments to cut aid to Israel. His April 2024 floor statement carries both dimensions in one passage: the package would "aid in the defense of our ally Israel" (the replenishment specifics stay on the research page) and "includes $9 billion to address the dire need for humanitarian assistance for the people of Gaza".
At a January 2024 forum he backed the administration’s supplemental request covering Israel, Ukraine and Gaza humanitarian aid. Nothing located explains his November 2023 or May 2024 No votes in his own words, and this card does not guess.
Tracked votes: backed sending U.S. weapons or funding to the government of Israel in 4 of 6 recorded votes.
