Erin Houchin
Houchin voted for every Israel aid bill and against both amendments to cut that aid; her platform says she "stands firmly with Israel, our nation’s strongest ally in the Middle East", and she co-sponsored the 2024 resolution condemning the pause on arms transfers. Nothing located on U.S. aid to Palestinians.
Houchin represents Indiana’s 9th District and is the sitting member.
Her 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. Her campaign platform’s "Stand With Israel" section reads: "Erin stands firmly with Israel, our nation’s strongest ally in the Middle East. Even before Hamas’ barbaric terrorist attack on October 7, 2023, she has vocally supported Isr[ael]...", quoted to its verified span. In May 2024 she co-sponsored the resolution condemning the administration’s pause on arms transfers; a same-day "ridiculous" remark reported from local radio rides on an unopenable source and is held as reported.
Four statements the research offered ride on other organizations’ accounts (a German embassy, a lobby’s page, another member’s page) so they are not used here. A thank-you-AIPAC photo post on her own campaign account, read by a volunteer, thanks the committee for its endorsement.
Nothing located has her addressing U.S. humanitarian aid for Palestinians at any date.
Tracked votes: backed sending U.S. weapons or funding to the government of Israel in 6 of 6 recorded votes.
