Emily Randall

Randall voted to cut $3.3 billion in 2026: “they don’t want to see more of their taxpayer dollars go towards subsidizing Netanyahu’s endless violence”. In 2024 she called October 7 “vicious, unprovoked, and unlawful” and fired a campaign manager over anti-Israel posts.

Randall has represented Washington’s 6th District since January 2025. Her two recorded votes appear as badges on this card: No on the amendment to cut $500 million for Israeli missile-defense programs, Yes on the 2026 amendment to cut $3.3 billion from aid to Israel.

Her arc runs from a pro-Israel-framed 2024 campaign to a conditions-side voting record. In a June 2024 Jewish Insider interview she condemned October 7 as "vicious, unprovoked, and unlawful", said she "stands with Israel and the world" in wanting hostages returned "and Hamas eradicated with no further loss of innocent life", backed the administration’s withholding of certain heavy arms while supporting Israel’s overall defense, and supported federal antisemitism legislation. The same reporting covered her firing a campaign manager whose personal posts had backed Palestinian resistance, a decision that drew criticism from her left, per The Stranger.

In office: her July 2026 statement explains her cutting vote with the front quote, adding concern about the amendment’s breadth but concluding the risk of unaccountable offensive aid outweighed it. Her humanitarian-crisis statement declares: "I refuse to accept the false choice between supporting Israel’s security and opposing the starvation of children." At a September 2025 town hall she preferred the Silver Shield Act to the Block the Bombs Act because it "does not hinge on Israel’s cooperation", and said she had withdrawn from an AIPAC-organized freshman trip; in February 2026 she took the J Street Education Fund’s delegation to Israel, the West Bank, and Jordan instead, per her ethics filing.

Tracked votes: opposed sending U.S. weapons or funding to the government of Israel in 1 of 2 recorded votes.
