Brandon Wade

Answering a constituent by email on 5 July 2026, Brandon Wade said he believes Israel's actions in Gaza are genocide and that the United States should stop providing money and weapons. Nothing more recent or more public was found: he said it privately, to one voter who asked. His campaign site says none of it. Its platform headings are affordable healthcare, working families, veterans, tribal self-governance and the government shutdown; its press-release page holds two items, both from 2024 and both domestic; and its voter-input page lists twenty issues constituents may raise, none of them foreign policy, foreign aid or the Middle East. The direction is not new. Asked in a November 2024 voter guide whether the United States' relationship with Israel is important and why, he answered by making American support conditional on the recipient's conduct, and said the support should stop until that conduct changes. That is a general principle of conditionality rather than a statement about any particular weapon, package or appropriation, but it is in his own words, under his name, roughly two years earlier. His campaign separately proposes cutting Pentagon spending by $100 billion a year and redirecting it to domestic priorities.
