But What Can You Do? tracks where 2026 candidates stand on U.S. weapons and funding for the government of Israel. How we check

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.

No recorded votes on the bills we track. We found nothing in their own words about Israel, Gaza or the war.

No statement by Hull was located on U.S. weapons or money for the government of Israel, on aid to Palestinians, or on the conflict (source-checked research). Twelve years as Rio Rancho's mayor and his campaign stay on New Mexico issues: public safety, taxes, water.

The email has replies@butwhatcanyoudo.org in cc, so we can post their answer on their page in their own words; remove it if you prefer. Keep the subject line as it is, add your name, and send.

Deep Dive

Hull, Rio Rancho's mayor from 2014 until April 2026, won the June 2026 Republican primary and faces Deb Haaland in November.

We found nothing from him on any dimension of this issue. His iVoterGuide questionnaire, which we read in full, is a wall of "Did not answer" on every topic including the U.S.-Israel relationship prompt. That says nothing about him in particular: a candidate who answered nothing anywhere has not dodged one question. His platform is public safety, tax cuts, water infrastructure, and economic development.

An August 2026 endorsement of Hull by a group called Jewish Vote GOP was also reported, but the Facebook post cited for it endorses a different official, so that claim is not repeated here as fact.

If you want his position, you are better placed to get it than we are: ask Hull directly, or at a candidate forum, and send us the reply. It goes on this page in his own words.

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

  • No statement or action located. His iVoterGuide form was read in full (194KB): 34 "Did not answer" entries including "Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?". Per the questionnaire test, a wall of non-answers is a fact about the guide, not the candidate; an earlier framing that he "did not provide an answer" on Israel is discounted accordingly.

U.S. aid to Palestinians

  • Nothing located.

Characterization of the conflict

Related rhetoric and lobbying

  • EXCLUDED, wrong-person suspect: an earlier account reports Jewish Vote GOP endorsed Hull on 2026-08-03 citing his municipal record, but the cited source is a Facebook photo post whose slug endorses a commissioner with a different name. Unverifiable and inconsistent; not asserted anywhere.

Safety and antisemitism (context)

  • [Position, 2025-10 through 2026-06, reported] Public safety is his platform's core: doubled Rio Rancho's police budget as mayor; law-enforcement endorsements 2026-05-26; New Mexico Fraternal Order of Police endorsement 2026-06-29. General public-safety material, not antisemitism-specific.
  • No statements on antisemitism located.
