About this source
Emailed reply from Democratic congressional candidate Matt Gromlich (LA-04) to a Dispute Index question on whether he would vote for a war powers resolution on Iran. He said he is against the war, would vote against any declaration of war and against sending troops into Iran, and would vote to remove troops already in the area.
Archived copy (opens in a new tab)Before the quotation
Dispute Index asked Gromlich's campaign on September 27, October 5 and October 10 whether he would vote for a war powers resolution directing the removal of U.S. forces from hostilities against Iran if one came before the House. His reply opens by introducing himself as a candidate for Congress in Louisiana's 4th district and saying he received the message about the Iran war.
After the quotation
He then points to a list of questions and answers on the Priorities page of his campaign website and invites further questions.
How this statement is classified
The label describes this statement's response within the context above.
Why this label?
The case tracks support for continued U.S. military operations against Iran, which Congress has not formally authorized, including whether a candidate would vote for a war powers resolution to remove U.S. forces from hostilities. Gromlich says he is "completely against the war in Iran" and would vote "for removal of any troops already in the area". That opposes continuing the operation, so we labeled it Condemned. The closest competing label is Mixed or conditional; it loses because his answer attaches no condition.
