McClain Delaney represents Maryland’s 6th District, elected in 2024.
Her two recorded votes on the tracked bills, against both amendments to cut aid to Israel, appear as badges on this card. Her campaign’s foreign-policy page backed the bipartisan Senate package for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan and calls her "an unwavering supporter of Israel’s right to defend itself and of the unbreakable bond between our nations", her campaign’s own text, third person.
Jewish Insider covered her 2024 race against a Republican whose record the piece contrasts with hers. Her House releases on defense funding are general-budget critiques and sit on the research page. Nothing located has her addressing U.S. humanitarian aid for Palestinians at any date.
(Identity note: she is distinct from her husband, former Representative John Delaney, and nothing of his is used.)

How this mark works
We track key votes on sending U.S. weapons and money to the government of Israel. A check means every tracked vote they cast came down against sending more, on the side of peace and de-escalation. A question mark means a mixed record: they sided with sending up to half of the time. An X means they voted to send more weapons and money in over half of their tracked votes, even as the way those weapons and dollars were being used became more and more obvious. At exactly half, money this election cycle from a lobbying group we track, or an endorsement from a group that backs sending weapons, makes it an X. Only votes actually cast are counted. Where a candidate has no recorded votes on these bills, the mark comes instead from a reviewed reading of their public record (money from the lobbying groups we track, endorsements, and their own words since January 26, 2024). There an X also covers fully backing the conduct of the war by the government of Israel without significant reservations, and a question mark also covers speaking about Israel without saying clearly where they stand on U.S. weapons and funding. A dash means No Position Found: we found nothing in their own words about Israel, Gaza or the war.
Voted to send weapons or funding in more than half of their recorded tracked votes. (Supported sending weapons or funding in 2 of 2 tracked votes.)
