Voted nay on H.R. 7217 (Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024) on 2024-02-06: Matsui voted against a standalone $17.6 billion Israel aid package that her top donor AIPAC strongly supported. The bill failed 250-180 (needed 2/3). Matsui issued a statement saying she opposed it because it lacked humanitarian aid for Gaza and Ukraine funding — not because she opposed Israel aid. This vote defected from her top donor (AIPAC, $11,322 in 2023-2024) while aligning with the Democratic majority (166 Dems voted nay, 46 voted yea). The cross-pressure: her donor wanted this bill; her stated policy rationale (comprehensive aid package) and party leadership opposed it.

[statement] At her October 2025 town hall, Matsui was asked directly: 'Will you sign on to the Medicare for All bill, HR 3069, and if not, why not?'
