David Kustoff has received $250K from the pro-Israel lobby and voted to send $26B of your tax dollars to Israel.

Voted YES on $895B defense bill, ICC sanctions for Netanyahu warrant, $26B Israel aid, 'stand with Israel' resolution.

On 4 lobby-relevant votes: 4 with, 0 against. 100% with the lobby.

The lobby invested $250K. The return? $26B in taxpayer-funded bills for a foreign government. That's money that could have gone to your schools, your hospitals, your roads. Instead, it went overseas while your community struggles.
