Robin Ficker
Ficker’s survey answers moved across cycles: in 2016 he marked Yes to "ending or reducing U.S. military aid to Israel until it abides by international and U.S. law"; in a 2024 guide he is reported backing continued weapons support while opposing American boots on the ground.
Ficker is the Republican nominee in Maryland’s 6th District, a former state delegate and perennial candidate.
His record is a pair of questionnaire answers a cycle apart. In a 2016 civil-rights coalition questionnaire, against "Do you support ending or reducing U.S. military aid to Israel until it abides by international and U.S. law?", his form is marked "__X__Yes", verified on the page. In a 2024 Jewish-community voter guide from his Senate run, he is reported opposing "American boots on the ground in any foreign wars" while supporting the U.S. "continuing to provide weapons support and aid to Israel"; the guide’s PDFs were pulled and the entry with those words was not located in the copy this project could read, so the 2024 wording is our research, held with that stated.
Both answers are carried with their dates, and the movement between them is his record. Nothing located has him addressing U.S. aid to Palestinians. Ask Ficker directly and send us the reply: it goes on this page in his own words.
