But What Can You Do? tracks where 2026 candidates stand on U.S. weapons and funding for the government of Israel. How we check
Tim Moore
- Backed with $10K by PACs we track that support U.S. weapons funding for the government of Israel (lifetime)
- Endorsed by AIPAC
Moore told a WSOC candidate guide "I stand strongly with Israel," and that the United States should encourage regional stability "while never compromising our commitment to Israel's security." No position was located on any specific weapons transfer or funding measure.

You asked Tim Moore where they stand.
Deep Dive
Moore has represented North Carolina's 14th District since 2025, after ten years as Speaker of the North Carolina House.
His fullest statement is in WSOC-TV's February 2026 candidate guide: "When it comes to the Israel-Palestine conflict, I stand strongly with Israel. They have every right to defend themselves against terrorism. At the same time, we should encourage long-term stability and peace in the region, while never compromising our commitment to Israel's security." On the same page he applied a different standard to Ukraine, saying that "with any U.S. assistance, we must ensure oversight and transparency" and that "the American people deserve to know where their money is going."
In May 2024 he filed the state SHALOM Act to write the IHRA working definition of antisemitism into North Carolina law.
His recorded votes appear as badges on this card.
What is not on the record is any statement of his about a specific weapons transfer, a specific funding measure, or U.S. aid to Palestinians. He asked for oversight of U.S. money going to Ukraine; he has not been recorded applying that question to Israel.
The record
Supported sending weapons or funding in 2 of 2 tracked votes
• Vote record imported from official House Clerk roll calls for H.R. 6126, H.R. 8034, and H.R. 8369. Other position fields remain under investigation.
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 2 of 2 tracked votes.)

Research log
The notes behind this card: what we looked at, what we found, and where each item came from.
U.S. military aid and weapons to Israel
- [Position, 2026-02-12] WSOC-TV candidate guide, opened and confirmed word for word, read under his own heading "Tim Moore (R)": "When it comes to the Israel-Palestine conflict, I stand strongly with Israel. They have every right to defend themselves against terrorism. At the same time, we should encourage long-term stability and peace in the region, while never compromising our commitment to Israel's security." In the immediately preceding paragraph, on Ukraine: "I support Ukraine's right to defend itself against Russian aggression. But with any U.S. assistance, we must ensure oversight and transparency. The American people deserve to know where their money is going, and I've been clear that accountability must go hand in hand with support." Both confirmed. The contrast is his own, on one page, in answer to one question.
- [After October 7, 2023-10-10] As Speaker of the North Carolina House he was primary sponsor of House Resolution 897, urging Congress to provide assistance to Israel; it passed 104 to 0 (Carolina Journal). Dated in the weeks right after October 7 and a state legislative act rather than a personal statement, so research page only. Not opened.
- No statement located from him on any specific U.S. weapons transfer, arms package or funding measure for Israel.
- His recorded votes appear as badges on this card.
U.S. aid to Palestinians
- No statement or documented position located.
Characterization of the conflict
- [Position, 2026-02-12] "I stand strongly with Israel. They have every right to defend themselves against terrorism" (confirmed verbatim, above).
- [After October 7, 2024-01-18] Hosted families of Israeli hostages at the North Carolina legislature (Carolina Journal). Not opened.
- [After October 7, 2023-10-12] After a group of state House Democrats left the chamber during a vote on a pro-Israel resolution, he said "neutrality in the face of evil is unacceptable" (WSOC, Carolina Journal). From the weeks right after October 7; not opened.
Related rhetoric and lobbying
- [Position, 2024-05-08, reported] Spoke at a state Capitol press conference about campus demonstrations. Not opened.
- The research also returned a White House "what they are saying" compilation and two other members' pages carrying multi-lawmaker interview round-ups (guest.house.gov, palmer.house.gov). Group compilations; nothing individual to him is drawn from them.
Safety and antisemitism (context)
- [Position, 2024-05-01] Filed North Carolina House Bill 942, the SHALOM Act, to codify the IHRA working definition of antisemitism in state law; it passed the state House (Carolina Journal, JNS, and WFAE on the First Amendment objections). Safety context, never an answer about U.S. weapons or funding. Not opened.
⚠ Wrong-person source, and a serious one
- The research's October 2023 statement, including "Israeli citizens are getting murdered in the streets, and they are fully justified in using whatever forceful means necessary to stop the violence," is cited to blakemoore.house.gov. That page was opened and confirmed to be the site of **Rep. Blake Moore of Utah**, a different member with the same surname. The statement is Blake Moore's, not Tim Moore's, and nothing from it is used. Tim Moore was Speaker of the North Carolina House in October 2023 and not yet a member of Congress.
