Kim Schrier

Democrat · U.S. House, Washington District 8

Nothing located since 2021 has Schrier taking a position on U.S. weapons or money for the government of Israel; her votes are on this card. Her statements are about civilians in Gaza: in August 2025 she co-led a letter on medical visas for injured children from Gaza.

Schrier's recent statements have been about Palestinian civilians rather than about what the United States sends. In August 2025 she and Rep. Debbie Dingell of Michigan led 141 colleagues in asking Secretary of State Marco Rubio to reverse a halt on temporary medical visas for children from Gaza, writing that the pause "will deny children the medical care they desperately need" and that the children were already vetted by the government of Israel before leaving. In August 2026 she was one of the signatures on a letter to President Trump saying progress on the twenty point Gaza peace plan had stalled and that Israeli policies were making it harder for essential goods and services to enter the territory. When the hostages were released in October 2025 she said she was "deeply relieved that at long last, they are free from Hamas terrorist captivity in the tunnels of Gaza", and closed by calling for a more secure and peaceful future for Israelis and Palestinians alike.

On U.S. weapons and money for the government of Israel her own record is older. In June 2021 she was one of 56 members who wrote to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin supporting the replenishment of Israel's stock of Iron Dome interceptors, and asked the department to work with Congress if the government of Israel requested further assistance. In 2019, asked by the Jewish News Syndicate about American taxpayer funding for the Palestinian Authority, she answered, "We should have funding." and said humanitarian, education and infrastructure aid mattered if a two state outcome was the goal. Her votes on U.S. funding for the government of Israel are recorded on this card and have not all gone the same way. No statement of hers explaining any of them was found.

Her congressional newsroom was read from September 2026 back to November 2021, and in that time it carries two items touching Gaza, both above, and nothing on U.S. weapons or money for the government of Israel. Her campaign site lists nine issues, from the economy to public safety, and mentions neither Israel nor Gaza. A post from her own account in July 2025, in which she called for an immediate surge of humanitarian aid to civilians in Gaza, would not open; a local news site reproduced its text, and it is set out with its address on her research page so readers can judge it themselves.

Ask Schrier directly where she stands on U.S. weapons and money for the government of Israel and send us the reply: it goes on this page in her own words. An empty record on that question carries no implication either way.

Tracked votes: opposed sending U.S. weapons or funding to the government of Israel in 3 of 6 recorded votes.
