Jeff Bartos: Supports security for Israel, against Iran nuclear deal

Bartos, for his part, suggested that he may opt for a middle path, expressing admiration for a broad array of Trump's policies both domestic and foreign. As a Jew who is deeply invested in Israel's security, Bartos was perhaps most enthusiastic about the Trump administration's recent achievements in the Middle East, including the Abraham Accords, as well as Trump's decision to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal.

Jeff Bartos: Hold China accountable, for moving embassy in Israel

Holding China accountable, making sure that America continued her important role to be the leading light onto all nations. Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, moving the American Embassy, the Abraham Accords, pulling us out of the disastrous JCPOA--some people call it the Iran nuclear deal. I think all of those policies I'm not only comfortable discussing, but enthusiastic to discuss.

Jeff Bartos: U.S.-Israel relationship is sacred to me and to our family

The U.S.-Israel relationship is sacred to me and to our family. It's been something that we've really devoted the last eight years of our life to--our daughter Sarah attended Jewish day school in the Philadelphia suburbs, is very active with Chabad on her college campus. So we as a family are deeply committed not only to the health and well-being of the State of Israel, but more importantly, a very, very strong U.S.-Israel relationship.

Jeff Bartos: Would fight UN Human Rights Council studying racism in US

United Nations--Bartos doesn't agree with President Joe Biden's decision to allow the HRC [UN's Human Rights Council] to study racism in the U.S., and if elected, he'd fight against the U.N.

Jeff Bartos: Let people sue China for COVID, prosecute IP theft

Bartos will hold China accountable, protect American jobs, and prevent China from dominating the world economy. Jeff will join legislation that will allow Americans to sue the Chinese Communist Party for its role in creating and covering up the COVID-19 pandemic.

China steals intellectual property from US Companies every single day. Jeff Bartos will push for stronger cybersecurity and prosecution for anyone found to have stolen IP from the US, including the Chinese Communist Party.

David McCormick: Promote equality and pluralism around the world

McCormick has championed the role of a strong United States on the world stage and has advocated for the idea that the United States can focus on addressing domestic issues while also leading efforts to promote human rights. In 2016 he stated, "If we are to promote equality and pluralism around the world, we must walk towards, rather than away from, our unique success in advancing these values at home while still embracing the idea that America is, and always will be, a work in progress".
