Patrick Thomas Roath

Foreign Policy / Israel Aid

Supports cutting or conditioning U.S. military aid to Israel, criticizing incumbents for not acting sooner.

Roath was cited alongside other Democratic primary challengers who argued that a vote to cut Israel aid came 'too little, too late,' suggesting he favors a more restrictive stance on military assistance to Israel.

Democratic Party Direction / Primary Challenge

Running as a progressive challenger seeking to push the Democratic Party further left against an establishment incumbent.
