Deep Dive

Moore has represented Utah in the House since 2021, running in the redrawn 2nd District, and is House Republican Conference vice chair. His six recorded votes appear as badges on this card: Yes on all four tracked aid measures, No on both amendments to cut aid to Israel.

His April 2024 statement on the foreign-aid bills carries the front quote inside a peace-through-strength frame. His campaign platform, verified, states he is "proud to stand with Israel and has supported multiple initiatives to help Israel defend itself against Hamas’s terrorist attacks."

In August 2025 he told the Salt Lake Tribune he hoped the administration was pushing Israel to allow more aid into Gaza; the offered source is a Facebook post of the story, not yet confirmed. In December 2024, as conference vice chair, he co-released the House Republican leadership report on campus antisemitism with Rep. Stefanik, verified via the Jerusalem Post’s coverage; in May 2024 he joined a letter demanding a CBP investigation of foreign funding behind campus demonstrations (his release page could not be retrieved; reported, not confirmed directly). In a December 2020 JNS interview he opposed the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement, "always been disheartened by any type of anti-Semitic movement or attitudes that exist."

His October and November 2023 statements are on the research page. AIPAC’s and the Republican Jewish Coalition’s tracked support appears as badges on this card.

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.

Voted to send weapons or funding in more than half of their recorded tracked votes. (Supported sending weapons or funding in 6 of 6 tracked votes.)
