Michael Louis Jr. Dublin
Dublin’s 2026 Green Party platform calls for "ending U.S. funding for genocide abroad while redirecting those resources to housing, healthcare, and education at home". In 2024 he criticized officials who would not back a ceasefire or oppose military support to Israel.
Dublin is a public school educator, community activist and Marine Corps veteran, co-chair of the Black Caucus of the North Carolina Green Party, and the party’s 2026 U.S. Senate candidate. He ran for the U.S. House in NC-02 in 2024.
His position is stated in his 2026 candidate platform, dated July 12, 2026, and it is framed as a budget choice as much as a foreign-policy one: ending U.S. funding for what he calls genocide abroad, and redirecting that money to housing, healthcare and education at home. The same profile describes Israel’s military actions in Gaza as genocide and argues for a foreign policy built on peace and human rights rather than militarism.
During his 2024 congressional campaign he published a statement criticizing elected officials who refuse to back a ceasefire or to oppose military support for Israel, and calling for an immediate end to U.S.-backed military action. In the same statement he praised anti-war activists and Jewish Voice for Peace for blocking a Raleigh street to demand a congressional ceasefire resolution. The most striking phrase in that item, about stopping the slaughter of Palestinians, reads as the demonstrators’ demand rather than clearly his own wording, so it is recorded on the research page and not quoted here.

U.S. military aid and weapons to Israel
- 2026-07-12 [Current position; card-leading]: North Carolina Green Party 2026 candidate platform calls for "ending U.S. funding for genocide abroad while redirecting those resources to housing, healthcare, and education at home". Directly in scope, and framed as a spending decision.
- 2024-03-12 [Current position]: During his 2024 congressional campaign he published a statement criticizing elected officials who refuse to support a ceasefire or oppose military support to Israel, and calling for an immediate end to U.S.-backed military action. Carried on gp.org and his 2024 campaign platform page, neither of which names him in the search notes.
Characterization of the conflict
- 2026-07-12 [Current position]: The same 2026 profile characterizes Israel’s military actions in Gaza as "genocide abroad" and advocates a U.S. foreign policy rooted in peace and human rights over militarism.
- 2024-03-12 [Current position; ATTRIBUTION UNCLEAR]: He praised anti-war activists and Jewish Voice for Peace for shutting down a Raleigh street to demand a congressional ceasefire resolution to "stop the slaughter of Palestinians by Zionist Israeli Forces". The quoted phrase reads as the demonstrators’ demand rather than his own formulation, and the first search does not distinguish. Not quoted on the card for that reason.

Identity and ballot status
What came back empty or unusable
- No statement located on U.S. aid to Palestinians, UNRWA or Gaza humanitarian funding as a question separate from ending military funding.
- The 2024 statement’s two source pages do not name him in retrievable metadata, so that item is weaker evidence than the 2026 platform.
