Micah Jones

Republican · U.S. House, Massachusetts District 6

Nothing located has Jones saying what the U.S. should send the government of Israel, or on aid to Palestinians. He identifies as a staunch supporter of Israel and in February 2026 said Israel "has intended to fight the most careful and just war that they could" in Gaza.

Jones is the Republican nominee for Massachusetts' 6th District, unopposed in the September 1, 2026 primary, and faces Democrat Dan Koh in November. He is a lawyer who practiced securities litigation at Morgan Lewis in Boston and an Army veteran of the 82nd Airborne Division who deployed to Afghanistan in 2014 and 2015; he lives in Essex and is endorsed by former Gov. Charlie Baker. For years he has written on Israel and antisemitism as a publishing adjunct at the MirYam Institute, a U.S. nonprofit that publishes pro-Israel commentary, and in the Algemeiner, a New York-based Jewish news outlet, the Jerusalem Post and JNS.

Nothing located has him saying what U.S. weapons or money should go to the government of Israel, and nothing addresses U.S. aid to Palestinians. His campaign site's three plans, on accountability, opportunity and security, do not mention Israel, Gaza or foreign aid; the security plan speaks of "credible deterrence abroad", restoring congressional oversight of war powers and avoiding "open-ended military commitments without clear objectives and accountability." His closest written statement came in a March 19, 2025 Algemeiner op-ed after the deaths of the Bibas family: "I strongly believe that Israel has every right to continue fighting Hamas until the terrorist organization has been destroyed," he wrote, and "I would also like to see increased US military support for destroying Hamas." He did not support "regular" U.S. service members on the ground in Gaza but recommended that U.S. Special Operations Command be given "broad leeway" to rescue the American hostage Edan Alexander, and that the administration sanction states harboring Hamas leaders, "including Qatar and Egypt," which "could involve cutting off foreign aid, imposing economic penalties, or barring diplomatic travel." He wrote that Israel "should continue to maximize the good will of the Trump administration, and the current Republican-held US Congress, to unleash hell on every aspect of the Hamas terrorist organization," and that the IDF "has gone to greater lengths than any other military in the history of modern warfare to minimize civilian casualties."

On the war itself, he told GBH News in February 2026 that October 7 was "the worst day for Israel and the Jewish people since the Holocaust" and said of the military response in Gaza: "I think that Israel has intended to fight the most careful and just war that they could … I think it’s hard for us in the west to contemplate just how entrenched [Hamas was] in society and really using, I think, innocent Palestinians as shields." After the October 2025 hostage release he wrote at the MirYam Institute that President Trump "did what no other US President could have dreamed of doing" and that "This is Israel’s greatest generation", and that "a horseshoe of nefarious forces on both the American Left and Right have sought to routinely undermine the American-Israeli relationship".

His writing on antisemitism goes back further. After the January 2022 Colleyville synagogue hostage-taking he wrote that Jewish places of worship "must make themselves hard targets" with armed security and trained congregants; in December 2022 he wrote "Antisemitism Is on the March"; and on the first anniversary of October 7 he urged Zionist Jews in positions of influence to fund pro-Israel students, "donate to pro-Israel and Zionist political candidates" and fund advocacy organizations, and urged those legally able to obtain concealed-carry permits. In law school he chaired Northeastern's Alliance for Israel club and interned in the Anti-Defamation League's civil rights division. The Republican Jewish Coalition PAC, the political arm of a Republican organization of Jewish conservatives, lists him on its candidate portal. His remarks on the 2026 U.S. strikes on Iran are on the research page.

If you can ask him what U.S. weapons and funding should go to the government of Israel, send us the reply: it goes on this page in his own words.
