The candidate’s own reply
Colby Watson
Yes, I will absolutely vote against further unconditional transfers of weapons and funding to Israel. I also commit to supporting enforceable measures to ensure accountability. Not only that, Israeli influence in our political system is a huge problem, and I will work diligently to expose it and push it out. The American taxpayer has been used as a piggy bank by the Israeli government for far too long, and it’s time for it to end. I made two commitments at the beginning of my campaign: I will never take money from lobbyists representing corporate or foreign interests, and I will never buy, sell, or trade stocks while in office. My loyalty belongs to the American people, not corporate monopolies and not foreign countries.
