Mike Marvin
Marvin's platform section Ending Foreign Wars says the U.S. "must no longer participate in these foreign entanglements", and that money spent bombing other nations is "your tax dollars that could be spent on our schools, or our infrastructure". It does not mention Israel.
Marvin is a candidate for the U.S. Senate in Nebraska.
His campaign platform carries a section headed Ending Foreign Wars. It reads: "The United States must no longer participate in these foreign entanglements that have done nothing else but to stoke anger against the United States and hurt our very own servicemen and servicewomen. Every single dollar spent to drop bombs in another nation, are your tax dollars that could be spent on our schools, or our infrastructure."
That is a blanket position on money spent on military action abroad, and the card says so. He does not name Israel, Gaza or any specific aid programme, and nothing here should be read as a position on weapons transfers to the government of Israel or on aid to Palestinians.

U.S. military aid and weapons to Israel
- [Current position, dated by the campaign page; VERIFIED VERBATIM 2026-08-12; CARD-LEADING as a blanket position]: His platform section "Ending Foreign Wars": "The United States government hasn't technically participated in a war since World War Two, and yet we continue to fight on foreign lands. The United States must no longer participate in these foreign entanglements that have done nothing else but to stoke anger against the United States and hurt our very own servicemen and servicewomen. Every single dollar spent to drop bombs in another nation, are your tax dollars that could be spent on our schools, or our infrastructure."
Israel is not named. This is recorded as a blanket position on overseas military spending, which is how the card presents it.
