Lois has been a consistent advocate for security assistance to help the Jewish state defend herself from the many threats in the region – including from Iran, terrorism, and the boycott, sanctions, and divestment movement. Through her position on the Appropriations Subcommittee for State and Foreign Operations, Lois has helped advance America’s partnership with Israel in technology, medicine, humanitarian development, and defense.
Lois has traveled to Israel, including with her son, a U.S. Marine veteran, where she saw first-hand the importance of a stable, pluralistic, secure, and democratic ally in the Middle East working towards a comprehensive two-state solution. Lois believes that Israel’s security is our security and Israel’s values are our values – and will continue to safeguard the critical bipartisan consensus on the U.S.-Israel relationship.
