Executive summary
Rep. Jasmine Crockett voted “no” on the standalone November 2, 2023 Israel aid bill (which she called “partisan, inadequate, and fiscally irresponsible”) but subsequent reporting and scorecards describe a more mixed record in 2024–2025, including votes in support of post‑October‑7 aid packages and pro‑Israel resolutions (sources characterize her overall Israel–Palestine record as mixed or poor) [1] [2] [3] [4].
1. A clear NO in November 2023 — procedural and political reasons
Crockett publicly announced she voted against the November 2, 2023 standalone Israel aid bill and explained her opposition in a press release that framed the package as partisan and paired with harmful spending cuts; the office quote says plainly “I vote NO on this bill” and criticizes Speaker Johnson for attaching spending cuts to an emergency aid bill [1].
2. After October 7, 2023: supporting some aid measures and resolutions
Multiple profiles and trackers summarize Crockett as having voted to support Israel after the October 7 attacks and to back some funding measures and pro‑Israel resolutions in the 118th Congress; Britannica and other summaries say her record “has included votes to support Israel after the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack” [4]. Advocacy trackers and compilations likewise list yes votes on several post‑2023 measures [2] [5].
3. Conflicting portrayals: “mixed” versus “consistently voted for aid”
Advocacy sites and trackers differ about emphasis. An accountability profile calls her record “mixed,” noting yes votes on H.R. 8034 (a roughly $26 billion Israel aid measure in 2024) and on H. Res. 771 (standing with Israel) while also noting earlier no votes like the November 2023 bill [2]. Trackers such as Track AIPAC and other scorecards describe her overall Israel–Palestine legislative record as poor or mixed, signaling tension between votes for some aid and rhetoric critical of unconditional funding [6] [7] [3].
4. Her stated rationale and public statements — tension between principle and party unity
Crockett’s November 2023 statement framed that particular bill as a vehicle for partisan cuts and inadequate policy, indicating opposition to process as well as substance [1]. Other public comments compiled by trackers and profiles show she has expressed concern about endless funding and called for better, more comprehensive approaches — which helps explain why she has both opposed some bills and supported others as Congress moved to larger, negotiated packages [1] [2].
5. External ratings and political pressure shape the narrative
Independent and partisan trackers rate her differently: advocacy projects focused on Palestinian rights criticize her yes votes and give low marks, while other organizations note alignment with broader Democratic votes supporting allies and security funding [2] [7] [3]. Heritage Action and other scorecards place her within conservative scoring frameworks, but these do not directly map to specific Israel aid votes; they do, however, reflect the broader political pressure Crockett faces from both progressive critics and pro‑Israel constituencies [8] [3].
6. What the available sources document — and what they do not
Available sources document a November 2, 2023 roll‑call “no” from Crockett (with explicated reasons) and report that she voted for some later 2024 Israel aid measures and pro‑Israel resolutions; trackers summarize her overall record as mixed or poor on Israel–Palestine issues [1] [2] [4] [7]. The sources provided do not supply a complete, roll‑by‑roll list of every foreign‑aid vote by Crockett since 2023; VoteSmart-style roll call compilations are referenced but the exact votes on each bill (by bill number and date) are not fully enumerated in the materials given [9] [10].
7. Bottom line for readers: nuanced reality, not a single headline
Crockett opposed at least one early 2023 package she called partisan and voted “no” (November 2, 2023) while later supporting some major Israel aid bills and resolutions after October 7, 2023, yielding a mixed legislative record that draws criticism from progressive and Palestinian‑rights advocates but also aligns with broader Democratic support for post‑October‑7 funding measures [1] [2] [4]. For a definitive roll‑call timeline, consult full Congressional roll‑call records or a comprehensive vote tracker; the sources provided here confirm the contradiction but stop short of a complete vote‑by‑vote ledger [9] [10].
