If elected to Congress, I will work to maintain a strong relationship between the United States and Israel... it is in the best interest of the United States to continue our military assistance to Israel so that it can properly defend itself against all forms of insurgency and foreign aggression.
Work to maintain a strong U.S.-Israel relationship and continue military assistance to Israel.
Occurrences
Evidence
Roll Call 166 on May 13, 2026 passed H. Res. 1251, "Calling on elected officials and civil society leaders to counter antisemitism and educate the public on the contributions of the Jewish-American community." The vote list shows Michael Guest (MS) voted Yea.
The House considered H. Con. Res. 75 on May 14, 2026, directing the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities against Iran; Michael Guest voted Nay.
Assessments
This promise is broad and ongoing, and full delivery would require clearer evidence that Michael Guest materially helped preserve or extend U.S.-Israel military assistance or the bilateral relationship. The cited record shows same-term pro-Israel-aligned votes, including opposition to a war-powers resolution affecting Iran and support for an antisemitism resolution, but those are indirect signals rather than direct proof that he secured or advanced military assistance to Israel. In federal office context, supportive floor votes alone support some credit, but not full delivery.
Guest took at least one same-term federal action aligned with maintaining a strong U.S.-Israel relationship by voting Yea on H. Res. 1251, a House resolution addressing antisemitism and recognizing Jewish-American contributions. However, the cited evidence does not show that he directly secured, sponsored, or materially advanced continued military assistance to Israel, which is a central part of the promise. This supports partial credit rather than full delivery.
