Expand the Child Tax Credit beyond current law, in amount or refundability.

US weapons to Israel: support or oppose
No position in her own statements on blocking or conditioning offensive-arms transfers to Israel. Her house.gov Foreign Affairs page documents the Defending the Human Rights of Palestinian Children and Families Living Under Israeli Military Occupation Act (her bill) and ceasefire/humanitarian statements; under P09 and rule 19 that is humanitarian/human-rights language, coded unclear, not support and not no_documented_position. Massie amendment vote and H.R.3565 cosponsorship are B-grade overlay items only and do not set this A-grade value. / support: blocking/conditioning offensive arms to Israel
Defending the Human Rights of Palestinian Children and Families Living Under Israeli Military Occupation Act,
Increase federal funding for border security and enforcement (CBP, barriers, technology, personnel).
On the House floor on 2026-03-05, opposing H.R. 7744 (DHS Appropriations Act), McCollum said she will not vote for more funding for ICE or CBP until Congress enacts enumerated conduct reforms. CBP falls within P10; the stance is the opposite direction from support, but it is conditional on conduct reforms rather than on funding levels.
I will not vote for more funding for ICE or CBP until this Congress includes those reforms.

None documented yet.
Affiliation means documented membership or endorsement, backed by a dated source. Agreeing on policy is not affiliation, and membership never fills in a candidate's positions. Constituency caucuses represent communities, not ideologies, so their membership isn't a policy position. If no relationship is shown, none has been documented yet. That doesn't prove there is none.
