Thomas Stalcup

Republican · U.S. House, Massachusetts District 4

Stalcup has taken no public position on U.S. weapons or money for the government of Israel, or on U.S. aid to Palestinians. His foreign policy page says the United States “has too often entered wars of choice”; it does not mention Israel, Gaza or foreign aid.

Stalcup is the Republican nominee in Massachusetts’s 4th District, a Brookline physicist who founded a company that builds environmental monitoring systems. A former Democrat who says he supported Bernie Sanders, he joined the Republican Party this year to run, was unopposed in the September 1 primary and faces Rep. Jake Auchincloss and independents Steve Chasse and Matthew Cook in November.

His campaign is about prescription drug prices first. His foreign policy page says the United States “has too often entered wars of choice that have produced destruction, loss of life, and long-term instability” and that “war must always be a last resort, grounded in clear evidence, defined objectives, and a realistic path to success.” In his answers to the League of Women Voters’ guide he says he would “immediately and repeatedly press to end the war in Iran and reassert Congress’s constitutional authority over decisions to initiate or continue future wars.” Nothing on his site, in his Ballotpedia survey, in that guide or in any report located mentions Israel, Gaza, Palestinians, foreign aid or antisemitism. A recorded candidate forum from August 2026 is linked on the research page. An empty record carries no implication either way.

You are better placed to change that than we are. Ask Stalcup directly, or at a candidate forum, and send us the reply: it goes on this page in his own words.
