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.

No recorded votes on the bills we track. We found nothing in their own words about Israel, Gaza or the war.

Nothing located has Regnitz taking a position on U.S. weapons or money for the government of Israel, or on U.S. aid to Palestinians, and nothing on the conflict, lobbying, or antisemitism either. A county commissioner, her campaign site does not address these questions.

The email has replies@butwhatcanyoudo.org in cc, so we can post their answer on their page in their own words; remove it if you prefer. Keep the subject line as it is, add your name, and send.

Deep Dive

Regnitz is the Republican nominee in Indiana’s 1st District, a Porter County commissioner who won the May 2026 primary.

Nothing located reaches any of this project’s questions. Her campaign site, read by a volunteer in September 2026, does not address Israel, Gaza, aid or lobbying; her Ballotpedia profile carries race facts only.

Ask Regnitz directly and send us the reply: it goes on this page in her own words.
