Baird represents Indiana’s 4th District and is the sitting member.
His recorded votes on the tracked bills appear as badges on this card, all on the support side, including votes against both amendments to cut aid to Israel. His April 2024 release carries his own split in its title (supporting Israel’s bill while rejecting the Ukraine portion), and the page is script-served, so beyond the verified title and date its body is held as our research. His November 2023 statement on the first standalone bill is on the research page.
Nothing located has him addressing U.S. humanitarian aid for Palestinians at any date. A 2019 Zionist Organization of America appearance and Indiana-definition coverage are prior-band or state-matter context on the research page.
Tracked votes: backed sending U.S. weapons or funding to the government of Israel in 6 of 6 recorded votes.
