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)Why we used 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.
