Ace Parsi
Parsi’s platform says foreign policy should “lead with values, partnership, and accountability that treat every human being as if they are created in the image of God”. His civilian-protection concerns, drawn from a childhood spent fleeing a war, are on the research page.
Parsi, who fled Iran as a child during the Iran-Iraq War, is the Democratic nominee in West Virginia’s 2nd District, challenging Rep. Riley Moore.
His platform, verified on his own site, frames foreign policy around stability and human rights: "Lead with values, partnership, and accountability that treat every human being as if they are created in the image of God and have infinite worth." That is a general frame; the card does not convert it into positions on aid, weapons, or the conflict, and no statement on those topics was located.
His most personal foreign-policy commentary concerns the 2026 U.S.-Israeli war in Iran, and stays on the research page: he told The Dominion Post "my big concern is making sure that civilian lives are protected", recalling hiding from bombs as a child, with similar remarks to West Virginia Public Broadcasting and Mountain State Spotlight.
Nothing located has him addressing aid to Israel, aid to Palestinians as policy, lobbying, or antisemitism.
