Voting Record

Atlantic Alliance
S. Amdt. 429 to S. 2226

FP4A supported S. Amdt. 429 to S. 2226, the FY2024 National Defense Authorization Act, which requires the president to seek the advice and consent of the Senate or an Act of Congress to suspend, terminate, or withdraw the United States from NATO. The bipartisan amendment, proposed by Sens. Tim Kaine (D- VA) and Marco Rubio (R-FL), was adopted 65–28 and was ultimately included in the final FY2024 National Defense Authorization Act. Foreign Policy for America scored positively those who supported the amendment.

FP4A opposed S. Amdt. 93 to H.R. 3746, the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023, which would have maintained 25% tariffs on imports from China until the U.S.-China trade deficit equaled zero. The measure, offered by Senator Josh Hawley, failed by a vote of 17–81. Foreign Policy for America scored positively those who opposed the amendment.

FP4A opposed S. 4072, which would have prohibited the use of funds to implement, administer, or enforce Environmental Protection Agency rules around emissions standards for light and medium duty vehicles. The standards were a key component of the Biden administration’s plans to meet national climate goals. The measure failed in the Senate 52–46 (60 votes were needed). Foreign Policy for America scored positively those who opposed this legislation.

Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
Support for S. J. Res. 111

FP4A supported S. J. Res. 111, which would have disapproved of the proposed $774.1 million sale of 120mm tank rounds to the Government of Israel, among other items and forms of logistical support, given the documented cases of civilian harm associated with the 120mm tank rounds, their widespread use in densely populated areas, and the lack of meaningful progress the Netanyahu government had made to deliver on the concrete actions called for by the Biden administration. The resolution, introduced by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and voted on in November 2024, failed by an 18–79 vote. Foreign Policy for America scored positively those who supported the joint resolution.
