Chris Chaffee
Nothing located has Chaffee taking a position on U.S. weapons or money for the government of Israel, or on U.S. aid to Palestinians. In a 2022 survey he strongly agreed the U.S. should help defend Israel; his 2026 profile leaves the Israel questions unanswered.
Chaffee is the Republican nominee in Maryland’s 5th District, a Calvert County contractor and repeat statewide candidate.
His survey trail moves from an answer to silence: in his 2022 Senate-run survey he marked "Strongly Agree" that the United States should help defend Israel from attack (an old-cycle mark), while his 2026 profile leaves the Israel-relationship and adjacent foreign-policy questions unanswered. Neither reaches aid packages, transfers, or conditions, and this card does not stretch them.
