Survey of 2022 Senate campaign websites: on Foreign Policy


Alex Lasry: US/Israel alliance special, for two-state solution

Israel is dear to my heart, especially having grown up in a religious household. I understand the unique security risks facing Israel, and I will be a strong, committed friend to the Israeli people from Day One. The US must continue its historic and special role as Israel's strongest ally. The US has a unique responsibility and must play an active role in resetting the peace talks. I will work with the Biden Administration as an active partner to achieve lasting peace through a two-state solution.

Bernie Moreno: Always, always, put America First!

President Trump's National Security Strategy gave us a great roadmap to pursue our vital security interests: Protect the American Homeland, People, and Way of Life; Advance American Prosperity; Preserve Peace through Strength; and Enhance American Influence. Our foreign policy must follow this roadmap and always, always, put America First! We need to spend more time and energy making America great than worrying about what other nations think of us.

Bernie Moreno: United States must always stand unequivocally with Israel

America has no greater friend than Israel and we should always be their number one ally. In a region full of hostility toward the United States, Israel is a source of freedom and stability in the region. It is the only state in the region that shares our democratic values. As Israel's neighbors want to wipe them off the face of the earth, the United States must always stand unequivocally with Israel.

Brian Bengs: Preserving close relationship with allies makes us all safer

Although imperfect, the rules-based international system is essential to maintaining peace and minimizing suffering. Preserving a close relationship with allies who share our democratic values makes us all safer and saves money. In contrast, the "America First" ideology of the Republican Party isolates us by abandoning our allies and withdrawing from the international system to face threats alone.

David McCormick: Sanction China for its crimes; reparations for COVID

Dave supports a whole-of-nation strategy to combat China's growing economic and military influence including: moving critical supply chains out of China and bringing manufacturing jobs back home; protecting American jobs and intellectual property; sanctioning China for its crimes; seeking reparations for COVID; reviewing U.S. investment in China; continuing the fair trade policies put in place by President Trump; and ensuring America remains the world's unrivaled military and economic superpower.

Eli Bremer: I support full funding of the U.S. commitment to Israel

I am dedicated to strengthening and broadening our country's relationship with Israel. In trade, intelligence, defense, and economic cooperation, the U.S. and Israel are two nations that both benefit greatly from a significant and meaningful partnership. I support full funding of the U.S. commitment to support Israel's security: $3.3 billion in security assistance and $500 million in cooperative missile defense funding.

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.

Kathy Salvi: Congress needs to reassert its authority on foreign policy

Today we are witnessing war and violence in Ukraine perpetrated by Vladimir Putin to seize more land and power. The United States should have acted before Putin's invasion. Now it is too late for the U.S. to deter Putin, but we can try to minimize the damage caused by Biden's incompetence and lack of leadership. I am in favor of a strategy that will help Ukraine win. Congress needs to reassert its authority on foreign policy and fill the backstop left by Biden's failed leadership.

Latham Saddler: He is determined that Communist China will not prevail

This must be an American 21st century. Communist China seeks to overtake America in every way--economically, militarily and technologically. China is open about this goal while using subversive tactics to achieve it. Latham has never and will never shy away from a fight for freedom, and he is determined that Communist China will not prevail. Latham will hold China accountable and ensure America's continued leadership in the free world.

Latham Saddler: A strong, united America makes the world more secure

As Americans, united we'll stand, and divided we'll fall. We are Americans first--fellow countrymen and women--not each others' enemies. Our REAL ADVERSARIES, like Communist China, win when we are divided. Latham advanced the America First Agenda while working in the Trump administration. As a United States Senator, he will continue to fight for our stability at home and America's leadership on the world stage because a strong, united America makes the world a more secure place for everyone.

Leora Levy: Maintain an unbreakable alliance between the US and Israel

Leora will be a strong clear voice for America and for maintaining an unbreakable alliance between the US and Israel. The Government of Iran is an evil regime, the foremost state sponsor of terrorism in the world and the enemy of all freedom-loving Peoples.

Leora Levy: American Policy should include regime change in Iran

As a U.S. Senator, I will be a leader in broadening and deepening the Abraham Accords through increased commerce, tourism, cultural programs, educational exchanges as well as mutually beneficial intelligence and security arrangements. I will lead efforts to prevent a nuclear Iran. I believe American Policy should include regime change in Iran.

Ron Hanks: Biden is an agent under the influence of a foreign power

Many have concluded you are unfit for the office. Many believe you were fraudulently elected. I will go further and declare my belief you are a fraudulently installed agent under the influence of a foreign power. Whether or not you fully comprehend your situation, Americans clearly recognize those pulling your strings oppose American greatness, leadership, and sovereignty. As Americans come to realize your incompetence, a growing majority also recognizes you were not fairly elected.

Sarah Godlewski: Did microfinance work in rural India

Sarah's microfinance work in rural India was transformative. She saw firsthand how access to capital can strengthen communities, help alleviate poverty while addressing gender inequalities. Her brief stint in India served as an inspiration that eventually led to co-founding an impact investment firm, MaSa Impact. The portfolio is mission-driven and invests in renewable and clean energy, women-owned businesses, and agriculture in Wisconsin and around the world.
