Eric Conroy
Conroy's platform says he "supports continued military aid to Israel" and "opposes attempts to condition aid or compromise Israel's sovereignty."
Conroy is the Republican candidate for Ohio's 1st District, running against Rep. Greg Landsman.
His position is written down on his own site and it is one of the few in this batch of research that answers the conditioning question directly. From his national defense platform: "Eric strongly supports the U.S.-Israel relationship and Israel's right to defend itself against terrorism and threats to its existence. He supports continued military aid to Israel and efforts to build regional partnerships that foster peace and security in the Middle East."
Then the sentence that matters most here: "He opposes attempts to condition aid or compromise Israel's sovereignty, and he will stand against increasing antisemitism both at home and abroad."
The page also states that he "supports President Trump's efforts to achieve peace in the Middle East and prevent Iran from ever obtaining a nuclear weapon," and that in Congress he "will be a dependable voice for peace through strength and a steadfast ally of Israel."
The platform is written in the third person throughout, so these are his campaign's words about him rather than quotations of him speaking.
He has no federal voting record.
No statement was located from him on U.S. humanitarian aid to Palestinians.

The page is dated 2025-07-14 in the research and carries no visible publication date, so it is read at the date of reading.
**"Opposes attempts to condition aid" is a direct answer to this site's question**, and one of relatively few in this batch of research stated in those terms rather than as general alignment. It is on the card for that reason. Note the platform is written in the third person, so it is his campaign's statement of his position rather than a quotation of him speaking. The card attributes it to the platform.
- He has no federal voting record.
U.S. aid to Palestinians
- No statement or documented position located. The platform does not mention humanitarian assistance, Gaza or Palestinians.
Characterization of the conflict
- [Position, read 2026-08-12] Frames the subject through "Israel's right to defend itself against terrorism and threats to its existence" and support for regional partnerships (confirmed verbatim, above). No characterization located of the war in Gaza, of Palestinian statehood, or of the conduct of either side.
Related rhetoric and lobbying
- No statement located naming any pro-Israel organisation. The platform's commitment to be "a steadfast ally of Israel" in Congress is a campaign commitment, quoted above.
Safety and antisemitism (context)
- [Position, read 2026-08-12] "He will stand against increasing antisemitism both at home and abroad" (confirmed verbatim, in the same sentence as the conditioning position). Safety context; the sentence is quoted whole on the research page so the two halves are not detached from each other.
