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 public statement from Dulaney on U.S. weapons or money for the government of Israel, or on U.S. aid to Palestinians has been found (source-checked research). A volunteer searched as well and found nothing to show.

Deep Dive

Dulaney is the Republican candidate for Ohio's 3rd District.

We have found nothing from him on U.S. weapons or money for the government of Israel, and nothing on U.S. aid to Palestinians. A volunteer searched for a statement as well, on 17 August 2026, and found none. He has no federal voting record, so there is no vote to read instead.

That is a record of what was checked, not a claim that he has never said anything anywhere. Most candidates at this level have simply never been asked.

You are better placed to change that than we are. Ask Dulaney directly, or at a candidate forum, and send us the reply: it goes on this page in his own words.
