Dan Schwartz
Nothing located has Schwartz taking a position on U.S. weapons or money for the government of Israel, or on U.S. aid to Palestinians. A consumer advocate, his site and policy page run on financial protection. Two no-corporate-PAC posts are on the research page, unconfirmed.
Schwartz is the Democratic nominee in Maryland’s 1st District, a Talbot County consumer advocate who won the June 2026 primary.
His own material was read: his site and policy page run on consumer and financial protection, with no Israel, Gaza or foreign-policy content. Two campaign posts reported as refusing corporate PAC money have unopenable addresses and would be general in any case.
His name is one of the panel’s heaviest collision traps: our research’s disambiguation excluded five same-name men, including a Nevada politician and a Maryland cardiologist whose Jewish day-school alumni profile could easily be mistaken for the candidate’s biography. Nothing from any namesake is used.
Ask Schwartz directly and send us the reply: it goes on this page in his own words.

- Five namesakes in the research record: a former Nevada treasurer, a Connecticut attorney, a Maryland cardiologist (whose Jewish day-school alumni spotlight was checked and belongs to the physician, not the candidate), a Columbia-parent interviewee, and academic authors at an Israeli think tank. Nothing from any of them is used.
