Mark Tedford

Republican · U.S. House, OK-01

Mark Tedford has answered a direct question about Israel in writing, and the answer is about the relationship rather than the transfers. Asked in a June 2026 voter-guide survey whether the United States' relationship with Israel is important and why, he answered that it is, and that the United States should stand with Israel and support its right to defend itself. Nothing in it addresses U.S. weapons shipments, the 2024 supplemental packages, arms pauses, aid conditions or the Memorandum of Understanding, and he has never named a figure or a package. In the same survey, asked to describe his approach to American foreign policy, he coupled support for key allies with avoiding entanglements that do not serve a clear American interest — again without saying what should or should not be sent. His own campaign site says none of it. It has no foreign policy heading and no mention of Israel, Gaza, foreign aid, U.S. weapons or military assistance anywhere; its content is his business background, his endorsements from Oklahoma Republican officials, and general conservative themes. No press release, interview or column of his on the subject was found, and he has no social account on the record.
