Morgan McGarvey
McGarvey voted for the April 2024 aid package, calling it “the most difficult vote I’ve ever taken” and saying the majority “should have included conditions on the military aid to Netanyahu”; in 2026 he voted for the amendment cutting that aid. Nothing located has him addressing U.S. aid to Palestinians.
McGarvey represents Kentucky’s 3rd District (Louisville) and is the sitting member.
His recorded votes on the tracked bills appear as badges on this card and point both ways: against the standalone bills and the shipment-release bill, for the April 2024 package, and for the 2026 amendment cutting that aid. In his statement on the April 2024 vote he called it “the most difficult vote I’ve ever taken” and said: “The Republican majority should have included conditions on the military aid to Netanyahu, which is why the Biden Administration must ensure these weapons are used in accordance with international humanitarian law.” The rest of that statement is on the research page.
He declined to attend Prime Minister Netanyahu’s July 2024 address. Reporting in August 2025 said he would stop accepting contributions from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, previously a top contributor to his 2024 campaign; that report’s page no longer opens either, so it sits on the research page as reported rather than confirmed.
His fullest statement of his own position dates from November 2023 and is on the research page. Nothing located has him addressing U.S. aid to Palestinians as a funding question of its own. Ask McGarvey directly and send us the reply: it goes on this page in his own words.
Tracked votes: opposed sending U.S. weapons or funding to the government of Israel in 4 of 6 recorded votes.

U.S. military aid and weapons to Israel
- His recorded votes appear as badges on this card, both ways as the front states.
- [Position, 2024-04-20] His statement on voting for the package, verified on his own site: “the most difficult vote I’ve ever taken”; the Republican majority “should have included conditions on the military aid to Netanyahu”; the package’s humanitarian aid for Gaza as a reason to vote for it; and a continued call for a bilateral ceasefire with the hostages home. Quoted in the deep dive.
- [Reaction window, 2023-10-13] His support for military and humanitarian aid with a civilian-safety emphasis. Off the card.
U.S. aid to Palestinians

Characterization of the conflict
- [Reaction window, 2023-11-16] His statement on the violence in Gaza, verified on his own site and dated November 16, 2023 on the page: he stands with Israel and its people while opposing the Prime Minister, and with Palestinians yearning for a future without war while opposing Hamas. In-window, so off the card.
- [Position, 2024-07-24] His non-attendance at the Netanyahu address, per an outlet naming him among those who did not go; single source, the fact only.
Related rhetoric and lobbying
