Shannon Bray
Bray has not spoken publicly on U.S. weapons or money for the government of Israel, or on U.S. aid to Palestinians. No statement was found in source-checked research across 6 sources.
6 sources checked and read, every one listed on the research page. Most candidates at this level have simply never been asked.
You are better placed to change that than we are. Ask Bray 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.
Research
Verification, 2026-08-12: checked, and the material has no live source page
The first search reported that "as part of his general foreign policy platform published on April 16, 2023, he advocates for non-interventionism, cutting foreign aid, reducing the overall size of the U.S. military, and ending foreign military presence abroad". Cutting foreign aid would be in scope for this project as a blanket position, so it was chased.
Both source pages failed, in different ways:
- His campaign site, `shannonbray.us`, is gone: the address leads to a missing page, not merely a slow or browser-drawn one.
- His localcandidates.org positions page was rendered in a browser, 327 words, and contains **no** mention of Israel, Gaza, foreign aid, non-interventionism or Ukraine.
So the item goes on the research page flagged as a source that would not open and stays off the card, per the rule that an item whose only source would not open is not used. This is a sourcing outcome and not a judgement that he never said it.
**On the listing-page citation.** This card's research cites aroundtheempire.com/tag/shannon-bray/, which the quoted-span gate's detector flags as a listing page. It is a person-tag archive for the candidate himself, which is the safest class of listing, and this card carries no quoted span at all, so there is nothing for it to have misattributed. Recorded rather than silently dismissed.

The rest of what the first search returned on the questions with no answer
Each line above is the first sentence of what the first search returned for that question. Where it said more after that sentence, the whole passage is reproduced here word for word, so the qualification stands on the record alongside the finding. Em dashes are rendered as hyphens to satisfy house style; no wording is changed.
### U.S. military aid and weapons to Israel Shannon Bray has not publicly issued specific personal statements or policy proposals directly addressing U.S. military aid or arms transfers to Israel.

On July 27, 2022, he participated in a panel discussion highlighting anti-interventionist foreign policy positions.

### Safety and antisemitism There are no public statements or documented actions from Shannon Bray addressing antisemitism, safety measures for Jewish communities, or hate speech regulations.
