Foreign-lobby money compromises America First. The U.S. has no formal mutual-defense treaty with Israel; AIPAC operates a super-PAC (United Democracy Project) that spent over $100M during the 2024 cycle on independent expenditures against U.S. candidates who criticize Israeli government policy. A candidate who has accepted that money has, in their own revealed preference, accepted a foreign-policy filter on their congressional vote. The same logic covers China-linked donations, where federal law also prohibits CCP members from contributing.
For every candidate with a documented donor record, two things happen: (1) the specific category question is marked False (foreign_policy_restraint[q4] for AIPAC + China; economic_stewardship[q5] — the WEF/ESG/Davos capture question — for Soros-network donors), so the per-category subscore drops by 2 points; (2) an additional dollar-bracket adjustment is applied to the total, making the penalty proportional to the magnitude of the funding. Both impacts are visible on this page.

Praised the Dobbs decision as 'historic' and a 'tremendous victory for life,' and voted against H.R. 8296 (Women's Health Protection Act of 2022), which would have created a federal right to abortion and overridden state pro-life laws — consistent with the rubric's protection of unborn life from conception.
Reschenthaler voted for the Protect Children's Innocence Act (H.R. 3492, December 17, 2025), which criminalizes physicians who perform gender-transition procedures on minors at the federal level — affirming that biological sex is immutable and protecting children from gender-ideology-based medical interventions.
Voted NO on President Biden and Democrats' $3.5 trillion reconciliation package (2021), warning the bill would add hundreds of billions to the national debt; has maintained consistent opposition to large unpaid spending increases throughout his tenure, opposing what he termed the 'Socialist Spending Scam.'
Voted NO on H.R.1, House Democrats' 'For the People Act' (2021), which would have undermined voter ID laws, mandated expansion of mail-in balloting, and legalized ballot harvesting; Reschenthaler called it 'Democrats' Electoral Power Grab' and has consistently opposed legislation that weakens election-integrity safeguards.
Voted for H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act of 2023, which funds border-wall construction, ends catch-and-release, and tightens asylum rules. Has publicly stated he will 'fight to secure our border,' end sanctuary cities, and 'crack down on child sex trafficking' at the border.
Voted against H.R. 8 (universal background checks) and H.R. 1446 (extended background check delays) in the 117th Congress, calling them 'draconian' bills that 'criminalize common practices among gun owners' and 'deprive law-abiding citizens of their Second Amendment rights.'
During House floor debate on Ukraine aid legislation, Reschenthaler publicly called for speeding up weapon deliveries to Ukraine and condemned critics of open-ended funding as promoting 'defeatism, pessimism, and surrender' — aligning with the interventionist, indefinite-commitment camp rather than the rubric's call to wind down foreign military entanglements and restore congressional war-powers oversight.
