Emailed reply from Democratic congressional candidate Robert People (FL-15) to a Dispute Index question on how he would vote on a war powers resolution on Iran. He said he would vote for it. His first email wrote "Iraq" in the first sentence. Dispute Index asked whether he meant Iran, and on October 7, 2026 he confirmed by email that he did. The text here is the statement as he confirmed it. The link goes to his campaign site because the statement is not posted there; he sent it to Dispute Index by email.
