2025-06-10 · SponsorshipMoody supported European snapback sanctions and urged sustained economic pressure until Iran’s nuclear program was verifiably dismantled. The September 2025 letter also called for IAEA access, restrictions on proliferation and pressure on Iran’s overseas banking operations.
This is a September 2025 sanctions position. It does not by itself establish her position on the 2026 Iran war or a later war-powers vote.
2025-09-23 · Signed letter / official statementMoody joined the Stand with Israel Act to cut U.S. funding for UN bodies that expel, downgrade, suspend or otherwise restrict Israel’s participation. In her statement she supported Israel and argued that U.S. funding should not sustain UN actions that undermine it.
This is evidence about Israel and UN funding, not a complete position on Gaza aid, civilian protection, ceasefires or every arms sale.
2025-04-30 · Cosponsorship / official statementMoody became health-subcommittee co-chair of a Republican HELP Committee fraud task force with Roger Marshall. The announced program focuses on oversight of federal health funding and investigating misuse of public money. Allegations and numerical fraud estimates quoted by politicians are not independently verified here.

Figures belong to this account and reporting period. They are not lifetime funding or personal wealth. Receipts, in-kind contributions, loans and spending are separate measures.
Named committee amounts are spending-side reported contributions, not an exhaustive list of all individual donors. They are not added again to campaign receipt totals.
Independent expenditures are outside spending; campaigns do not receive these amounts. Missing amounts or committees do not establish zero funding or absence of political support.
Earmarked/conduit and memo entries are excluded from direct-contribution totals. A committee passing on earmarked individual gifts is not treated as the original donor.
IE processing removes superseded reports and repeated transaction IDs; late or amended reports may change totals. Current source records should be reviewed before drawing conclusions.
Source-linked statements, votes, sponsorship and executive actions are distinct. The interactive profile retains news search, donor pagination and official archives. Historical campaign records do not establish current office or current views.
