Hillary J. Scholten has accepted documented donations from sectors with material interests in "Scholten has refused to call for a Gaza ceasefire — signing an anti-de-escalation letter and receiving an 'F' grade (13%) from AJP Action, a pro-Palestinian scorecard" but has no public statement, vote, or hearing record on the topic. Expected position: As a Democrat in a D+10 district that includes significant Arab-American and Muslim communities, and as a progressive who emphasizes human dignity, Scholten would be expected to join the majority of her constituents calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. Evidence of activity on adjacent topics: AJP Action gives Scholten an 'F' (13% score): 12% voting record, 20% on letters signed, 0% on co-sponsorships, 0% on statements. She signed an anti-de-escalation letter, signed a letter endorsing Biden's Gaza policies, did not sign ceasefire or conditioning-aid letters, and has never called for a ceasefire. She voted for $17.6B Israel aid, $26.38B Israel supplemental, affirmed Israel's right to exist, condemned 'from the river to the sea' as antisemitic, and opposed censuring Rep. Rashida Tlaib. Meanwhile she has been highly active: held packed town halls (1,000+ attendees), issued press releases on the OBBBA, agriculture bills, housing, and the Iran War Powers Resolution — proving she is communicative but chooses silence on ceasefire.
