Rep. Sara Jacobs: “We Have to Be Able to Address Numerous Security Challenges Simultaneously”

Rep. Sara Jacobs (CA-51) released the following statement after voting against Speaker Johnson’s Israel-only supplemental bill:

“If we want the U.S. to lead on the world stage, we have to be able to address the numerous security challenges we’re facing simultaneously. This bill was a clear ploy by Speaker Johnson to use aid to Israel as a political wedge and to end all discussions about humanitarian aid to Gaza – where millions of Palestinians lack food, water, fuel, medicine, and electricity – and support for Ukraine in their fight against Putin’s aggression. I support providing defensive aid to Israel – but that can and must be paired with our additional priorities and responsibilities.”
