War and foreign policy

In short

El-Sayed's campaign opposes the Iran war and backs an immediate arms embargo on Israel. Rogers's campaign backs the U.S. airstrikes on Iran, calling Iran an imminent threat. Christensen's campaign would vote to end the Iran war and halt military aid to Israel until human rights compliance is verified; no position from Long was found. Marsh's campaign calls for ending hostilities with Iran and ceasefires in Gaza and Ukraine; no position from Kristy was found.

Campaign positions

What each campaign says.

Abdul El-Sayed

He opposes the war in Iran and demands an immediate end to hostilities, supports an immediate arms embargo on Israel, and opposes direct military funding to foreign militaries including Egypt, Israel, Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

Mike Rogers

He backs the U.S. airstrikes on Iran. After the strikes of February 28, 2026 he said Iran "is an imminent threat to our country and must not have a nuclear weapon." In June 2025 he said the strikes on Iran's nuclear sites made America and the world safer.

Lydia Christensen

She says she will vote for binding legislation to end the war in Iran, oppose further war funding without authorization, and vote against continued military aid to Israel until compliance with human rights law is independently verified.

Tim Long

No campaign website, platform or public statement by him was found. His FEC committee registration lists no website, the U.S. Taxpayers Party of Michigan's candidates page lists no candidates, and a web search for his name with the party and the office returned only election listings.

Douglas P. Marsh

He says the United States should immediately cease hostilities against Iran and use its leverage for permanent ceasefires in Gaza, Ukraine and elsewhere.

Walter P. Kristy

No campaign website, platform or public statement by him was found. The FEC records no campaign committee for him, the Natural Law Party of Michigan's site refused an automated reader and was not read, and a web search for his name with the party and the office returned only election listings and a poll.
