Michael Guest
Guest voted for every Israel aid bill and against both amendments to cut that aid. His record runs back to a 2021 interceptor-replenishment bill and a 2018 pledge of military assistance; his fullest statements sit in the war’s first weeks, on the research page.
Guest represents Mississippi’s 3rd District, is the sitting member, and chairs the Ethics Committee.
His recorded votes on the tracked bills appear as badges on this card, all on the support side, including votes against both amendments to cut aid to Israel. His support predates the war: in 2021 he introduced legislation to replenish Iron Dome interceptors, saying "This is not a Republican or Democratic issue. This is about protecting innocent lives from the continued attacks by the terrorist group Hamas" (defensive-systems detail that stays on the research page), and his 2018 campaign paper pledged military assistance. A November 2023 radio appearance titled "America must stand with Israel" is on the research page.
Nothing located has him addressing U.S. aid to Palestinians at any date.
Tracked votes: backed sending U.S. weapons or funding to the government of Israel in 6 of 6 recorded votes.
