Ben Ray Lujan
Sen. Ben Ray Lujan (D-NM), the incumbent seeking a second term in 2026, has a consistent Senate voting record of trying to block proposed U.S. arms sales to the government of Israel. He voted Yea (i.e., to advance disapproval) on all nine motions to discharge Israel arms-sale disapproval resolutions: three on Nov. 20, 2024 (S.J.Res. 111 / 113 / 115), two on Apr. 3, 2025 (S.J.Res. 33 / 26), two on July 30, 2025 (S.J.Res. 41 / 34), and two on Apr. 15, 2026 (S.J.Res. 32 / 138). Announcing the April 2026 votes he said arming the Netanyahu government 'will only enable the destruction of communities' and that the United States 'must use its leverage to demand action and change from the Netanyahu government.' As early as February 2024 he and Sen. Martin Heinrich pressed the Biden administration to condition further weapons transfers to Israel on humanitarian commitments.
