What we found

Supports. HuffPost reports she voted in favor of a Republican-backed bill approving military aid to Israel, joining 11 other House Democrats.[2]

Supports. Her House vote record lists a yea on HR 6126, the Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024 (Nov 2, 2023), and a yea on the Israel Security Assistance Support Act's passage in May 2024.[4][5]

Supports. C-SPAN's record shows she voted No on the 2025 and 2026 Massie amendments to cut Israel funding, which both failed, consistent with supporting Israel funding.[3]

Supports. Vote-tracking pages report she supported weapons or funding for Israel in most tracked votes, including a $26 billion Israel aid package in April 2024.[6][7]

Contradicts. AP reports she voted against the May 2024 House bill forcing delivery of paused bombs to Israel, a specific vote that does not negate her general votes for Israel aid.[1]
