Cheryl Riley
Riley calls the U.S.-Israel relationship "strategically vital" in her survey answers: Israel is "our strongest ally in the Middle East", sharing critical intelligence and joint military technology. Nothing located reaches aid packages, conditions, or U.S. aid to Palestinians.
Riley is the Republican nominee in Maryland’s 8th District.
Her position sits in a candidate survey she answered: "Yes, the US-Israel relationship is strategically vital. They are our strongest ally in the Middle East. They share critical intelligence, develop joint military tech that strengthens American defense...", alliance-endorsing in her own words, with no transfer, package or condition named, and this card does not supply one. A local advocacy guide recorded no response from her on specific arms-restriction legislation.
Ask Riley what she would vote to send, and send us the reply: it goes on this page in her own words.
