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.

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.
Voted to send weapons or funding in more than half of their recorded tracked votes. (Supported sending weapons or funding in 6 of 6 tracked votes.)
