Deep Dive

Morrison has represented Minnesota’s 3rd District since January 2025. Her recorded vote appears as a badge on this card: No on the amendment to cut $500 million for Israeli missile-defense programs; on the 2026 amendment to cut $3.3 billion from aid to Israel she voted present, per TC Jewfolk, and issued no public explanation the research could locate.

Her stated frame pairs the security alliance with humanitarian demands: support for Israel’s right to exist and defend itself, an immediate ceasefire, hostage returns, emergency aid to Gaza, and a two-state solution, per her candidate-guide statements. In January 2025 she joined colleagues urging the ICC to rescind its arrest warrants for Israeli leaders, while voting against the Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act’s sanctions, favoring what she called better options to defend Israel while protecting U.S. interests, per Jewish Insider’s coverage of the split.

In 2025 she signed the 144-Democrat letter urging the administration to retract Gaza-displacement statements and joined the congressional-doctors letter on humanitarian access (she is a physician). The Jewish Democratic Council of America endorsed her in 2024, citing her commitment to the U.S.-Israel relationship and combating antisemitism; she attended the Twin Cities community’s October 7 commemoration and co-sponsors Holocaust-education and Nonprofit Security Grant efforts, per the trackers and colleague releases.

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.

See a dash? Ask the candidate where they stand, then send us their answer and we'll review it and update the mark. Or volunteer to help review candidates.

Voted to send weapons or funding in more than half of their recorded tracked votes. (Supported sending weapons or funding in 1 of 1 tracked votes.)
