Voted yea on H.R. 7217 (Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act (Standalone GOP bill, February 2024)) on 2024-02-06: Brownley voted with a minority of her party (46 Democrats) to support the GOP standalone $17.6 billion Israel aid bill that President Biden threatened to veto. She was the only member of the San Diego/Los Angeles-area Democratic delegation to support it. The vote aligns with AIPAC — her largest single donor — and reflects her unusual willingness to break with Democratic leadership specifically on Israel-related legislation.

Voted yea on H.R. 8034 (Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024) on 2024-04-20: Brownley voted yea on $26.38 billion in military aid to Israel. She has received approximately $168,179 from AIPAC. Constituents have protested outside her office, arguing this support 'directly fuels the ongoing violence in Gaza.' Her district is 44.3% Hispanic — many of whom are younger and more critical of unconditional military aid. The vote illustrates donor-constituent cross-pressure.

Voted nay on H.R. 1 (One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) — House final passage) on 2025-07-03: Brownley voted nay on the GOP reconciliation bill projected to add $3.4 trillion to deficits and cut approximately $1 trillion from Medicaid and SNAP. The AFL-CIO, which gave her a 100% score for 2025, opposed the bill.

The vote was both party-aligned and constituent-aligned.
