2026 Midterm Roster: Palestine, Genocide, and Zionism

A New York–centric roster: every New York race — statewide, U.S. House, State Senate, Assembly, and city — imported verbatim from the 2026 primary archive, alongside national U.S. House and Senate candidates, placed on a six-tier spectrum from firmly pro-Israel to most critical of Israel. Filter by region and band; tap any column to sort; tap a candidate to open the full race and compare opponents side by side. Split badges mark contested placements.

New York rows (statewide, U.S. House, State Senate, Assembly, city) are imported verbatim from the 2026 primary archive; national rows are research-compiled. Tiers reflect the strongest documented signal (Block the Bombs / genocide-resolution cosponsorship, AIPAC·DMFI·RJC endorsement, direct statements); contested placements show a split badge (e.g., Tier 4 | Tier 5). Several national placements are inferred from votes/endorsements rather than direct quotes — see each row's position text. How the tiers work: a six-step spectrum from Tier 1 (firmest pro-Israel / Zionist) to Tier 6 (most critical of Israel, supporting Palestine), with each placement set by a candidate's strongest documented signal. The higher tiers (5–6) require straining or breaking the Zionist consensus — an arms embargo, BDS, "genocide" framing, backing measures like Block the Bombs. The poles aren't symmetrical: Tier 1's pro-Israel commitment is typically unequivocal, while Tier 6's support for Palestine is necessarily more diplomatic — by the nature of US electoral politics, even candidates most critical of a state perpetrating genocide have to hedge. Strikingly few candidates in either party break from a broadly Zionist frame, and essentially none describe themselves as anti-Zionist — itself a measure of how Israel-centric American electoral politics remains even amid the genocide in Gaza.
Two linked pages. This roster tracks the general-election field (all of NY plus national House & Senate). Its companion, the 2026 primary archive ↗, holds the June 23 NY primary results and the deeper per-race detail. NY placements here are pulled from that archive.

Tier key. 1 Firmly pro-Israel · 2 Mainstream pro-Israel · 3 Pro-Israel, critical · 4 Critical / conditions aid · 5 Critical on most positions · 6 Most critical of Israel / supports Palestine. “★” marks Marjorie Taylor Greene, deliberately untiered: a documented Gaza-“genocide” caller whose record doesn’t fit the solidarity spectrum. A split badge (e.g., “T4 T5 · contested”) marks a contested placement carried over from the primary archive. “NR” marks candidates with no documented Palestine/Israel position (unrated) rather than a placement. Advocacy trackers were used only for checkable facts (votes, dollar figures, endorsements) corroborated against primary sources where possible.

Ideology (GovTrack). A left–right score from GovTrack's 2024 report cards (118th Congress), where 0.00 = most left and 1.00 = most right; the dot sits at the member's position and each links to their GovTrack report card. Shown for current members of the 118th Congress only (122 of the 240 rows) — challengers, state officials, appointees, and members first elected in 2024 show “—” because they have no 2024 score. Sherrod Brown uses his Senate score; Adelita Grijalva (sworn in 2025) is intentionally blank rather than showing her late father's record.
