You are better placed to change that than we are. Ask Campbell directly, or at a candidate forum, and send us the reply: it goes on this page in their own words, which is worth more than anything we could write about them.

What the gather did return, on the other dimensions
**Read the verification note at the foot of this page before relying on anything in this section.** Two of the items reproduced here could not be confirmed against any source, and a third is contradicted by the source the gather itself cited.
The card's claim is about what the United States sends, and that dimension came back empty. These dimensions did return material. It is reproduced word for word so nothing gathered is lost, and it is context rather than a position on U.S. weapons or money. Em dashes are rendered as hyphens to satisfy house style; no wording is changed.
### U.S. military aid and weapons to Israel * **April 2, 2025:** Campbell shared commentary regarding a federal lawsuit brought by the Center for Constitutional Rights (*Defense for Children International – Palestine v. Biden*), stating that U.S. financial and military support for Israel "does not abide by international law" and violates orders of the International Court of Justice. He expressed support for holding American officials accountable through international institutions such as the International Criminal Court. * **March 20, 2025:** In a public social media statement, Campbell criticized continued U.S. foreign aid and military backing for Israel, writing that American leaders continue to fund violence while imposing sanctions elsewhere, and arguing that "U.S. leaders still fund this violence... It's not about peace. It's about power."
### Characterization of the conflict * **October 18, 2024:** While protesting outside the WXYZ-TV studios in Southfield, Michigan alongside other Green Party candidates, Campbell participated in a demonstration highlighting third-party exclusion, where the Green Party candidates jointly raised attention to "the genocide in Gaza" and called for an end to the conflict in Palestine. * **March 20, 2025:** Campbell characterized Israeli policy in Palestinian territories as "apartheid," rejecting claims that the conflict represents a "holy war" and stating that such framing is used "to hide what's happening in Palestine." In the same statement, he stated he was "Standing with Iran and Palestine against all this injustice."
### Rhetoric and lobbying * **October 18, 2024:** Speaking at a Green Party protest in Southfield, Michigan, Campbell criticized the influence of corporate and special interests over the two major political parties, stating, "We have had a corporate takeover of just about every aspect of American life, including the two Titanic parties... Corporate America owns them," and argued that major parties suppress debate on foreign policy issues. * **March 20, 2025:** Campbell questioned the role of Israel in influencing United States foreign policy, asking publicly, "Why is Israel driving America's war policy?" and asserting that U.S. involvement contradicts "America First" political commitments.

Verification, 2026-08-12
This card was rewritten as an absence card after a check of every source the earlier version rested on. What the check found, item by item:
- **The March 20 and April 2, 2025 statements: NOT CONFIRMED, and not disproved either.** The gather named "his own social accounts" and captured no post url for either one. The only accounts listed for him on his Ballotpedia profile are a personal Facebook page and a LinkedIn profile. The Facebook page returns two words of readable content to a fetch, which is a login wall rather than a page, so it can establish neither presence nor absence. The Ballotpedia profile itself was read in full, 2,056 words, and contains no mention of Israel, Gaza or Palestine.
- **The October 18, 2024 protest, described above as jointly raising attention to "the genocide in Gaza": CONTRADICTED BY THE CITED SOURCE.** The Green Party of Michigan release was read in full, about 1,200 words. It describes a protest about broadcast access for third-party candidates, quotes him on media consolidation, and does not mention Gaza, Israel or foreign policy anywhere. The same event, with the same framing added, was attached by the same gather to another candidate in this tranche, where a separate check on 2026-08-11 reached the same conclusion.
- **A mis-attached carrier.** For the April 2025 item the gather attached an Al Jazeera Facebook post about the International Criminal Court. That is a news organisation's post about the lawsuit, not evidence of anything he said. A real Green Party of the United States action on the same subject exists, which is a plausible route for a party position to be written up as a personal one.
- **Why this candidate was especially exposed to it.** Campbell ran for the U.S. House in Michigan's 11th District against Rep. Haley Stevens, and the gather pulled Wikipedia pages for Haley Stevens and Gary Peters into his source set. Searching a challenger's name surfaces the incumbent's record, and that retrieval path is how a different candidate with this surname ended up carrying Rep. Stevens's words in an earlier tranche.
Nothing above is deleted, per §3.7. It is recorded with what the check found, so a reader, or a later pass that locates the posts, can pick it up from here.
Also in this race: Jocelyn Benson (Democrat), Donna Brandenburg (Other), Anthony Hudson (Libertarian), John James (Republican) · All Michigan candidates.
