Rep. Stansbury Votes NO on Israel Supplemental

WASHINGTON—Today, Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM) issued the following statement after voting NO on the Israel supplemental.

“As a world leader, the United States cannot abandon our commitment to global democracy, our allies, and humanitarian aid,” said Rep. Stansbury. “That is why today, I voted to reject the House GOP’s cynical political stunt to advance military aid to Israel while leaving behind our allies in Ukraine and the Indo-Pacific and critical humanitarian aid to those who are suffering in Gaza. President Biden and House Democratic leadership have demonstrated our unequivocal commitment to global security, democracy and humanitarian assistance, and the President has stated clearly that he will veto any legislation that undermines these priorities. For these reasons, I have voted no on this bill which is designed to undermine our efforts to effectively address national and global security.”
