Hi Ben, I believe I have a statement on my website( justinwagnerforcongress.com/platform). That said, this is an important question and I'm happy to address it again. I am unequivocally against the war in Iran. For the question about a war powers resolution, yes, I would support it in the form you've mentioned. I am also interested in seeing a war powers resolution passed that puts the declaration of war and direction of sustained conflicts firmly back in the hands of Congress. Please let me know if there's anything else I can tell you about my positions. Thank you for your question! -Justin
Why we used this label
The case tracks support for continued U.S. military operations against Iran. Wagner says he is unequivocally against the war and would vote for a resolution to remove U.S. forces from hostilities against Iran, which opposes continuing the operation, so we labeled it Condemned.
