What Constituents Ask

$0

in unconditional weapons transfers while international institutions document what those weapons are used for. That is the bar constituents have asked her to hold.

Her Record

$26.4B

in aid to Israel, voted YES (H.R. 8034). July 15, 2026: voted to cut $3.3B in Israel aid, a first. Pro-Israel PACs have given her $74,661 over her career.

No transfer of defense articles to Israel currently requires a law specifying its permitted use or written assurances of compliance with international humanitarian law. H.R. 3565 would establish both requirements. Rep. Scanlon has cosponsored the bill since September 9, 2025.

Pro-Israel PAC contributions

Pro-Israel PACs have contributed $74,661 to Rep. Scanlon's campaigns over her career, per TrackAIPAC tallies of FEC records. The full picture is on our Money page.

The warning

On November 2, 2023, the Center for Constitutional Rights, joined by Palestine Legal and the National Lawyers Guild, sent a notice and demand letter to every member of Congress. It warned that voting for military aid to Israel could make them complicit in genocide.

What she voted for

On April 20, 2024, the House voted on aid to Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan as separate bills, each receiving its own debate and vote, before they were combined into one package for the Senate. A member could support Ukraine and oppose the Israel military aid without affecting Ukraine's funding.

Representative Scanlon voted YES on H.R. 8034, the Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, which included approximately $17 billion in military aid to Israel.

Thirty-seven House Democrats voted no on that bill. She voted yes.

What international institutions found

In November 2024, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. The warrants and the court's reasoning are published by the ICC.

On March 23, 2025, Israeli forces fired on a marked Palestine Red Crescent ambulance convoy, a Civil Defence fire truck, and a UN vehicle in Rafah, killing 15 responders — 8 PRCS medics, 6 Civil Defence workers, and 1 UN staff member. Their bodies and crushed vehicles were found in a mass grave a week later. UN Emergency Relief Coordinator Tom Fletcher said, “They were killed by Israeli forces while trying to save lives. We demand answers and justice,” per UN News. The UN's Independent International Commission of Inquiry found Israeli forces “deliberately killed, wounded, arrested, detained, mistreated and tortured medical personnel and targeted medical vehicles,” constituting the war crime of wilful killing and the crime against humanity of extermination. The Palestine Red Crescent Society has called for an independent international investigation.

Between October 7, 2023 and June 14, 2026, 72,996 Palestinians were killed and 173,246 injured in Gaza, per Ministry of Health figures reported through the UN Health Cluster. Casualty data is published by OCHA and UNRWA.

The UN Commission of Inquiry reported at least 20,179 children killed in Gaza through October 2025, per its June 2026 report.

The Committee to Protect Journalists documents at least 209 journalists and media workers killed by Israeli forces in Gaza and in Israeli detention since October 2023, as of June 2026, and has determined that at least 75 of them were targeted in direct reprisal for their work. CPJ notes its database is under ongoing review; we cite its current published count.

The votes

NAY

July 15, 2026 · H.R. 8595 · Roll Call 247

Official roll call ↗
YES

July 15, 2026 · H.R. 8595 · Roll Call 243

H.Amdt. 235, offered by Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), would have barred the bill's funds from going to Israel and cut $3.3 billion from the Foreign Military Financing account. It failed, 104 to 314, with Massie as its only Republican vote. Scanlon was one of 103 Democrats who voted for it — the first time she has voted to cut U.S. military aid to Israel.

The one reversal

Just 10 days after TrackScanlon launched, she voted for H.Amdt. 235, offered by Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), which would have cut $3.3 billion in Foreign Military Financing to Israel. Every other vote on this page shows Scanlon voting to fund Israel's military and against sanctioning ICC officials who investigated it; this was the first time she voted to cut U.S. military aid to Israel. The amendment failed, 104 to 314, with Massie as its only Republican vote and Scanlon one of 103 Democrats who joined him.

Minutes later, Massie offered a companion amendment, H.Amdt. 236, applying the identical logic to Jordan: bar the bill's funds from going to Jordan and cut $2.1 billion combined from Foreign Military Financing, Global Health Programs, and other accounts. It failed 6 to 421, with every Democrat voting no, Scanlon included.

Massie has said he paired the two amendments on purpose, to ask what it means if a member votes to defund Israel but not Jordan.

The accountability record

Archive Genocide, an independent research project, has published a searchable database it calls the Gaza Node Map. It says the database covers more than 92,000 documented events, over 21,000 strikes, and 3,400 facilities in Gaza, with each entry linked to its underlying sources and available for download. It is not an official record like the House Clerk votes or the institutional findings cited above, but it is built for tracing individual strikes and facilities back through their documentation.
