U.S. House of Representatives (R-MS 3rd District)

• Michael Patrick Guest represents Mississippi’s 3rd congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives, currently serving his fourth term. Before joining Congress, Guest served as Assistant District Attorney and District Attorney for Madison and Rankin counties, and was involved with multiple non-profits and initiatives cooperating with law enforcement in the state.

• Guest’s financial disclosure reports show that he owns stock in companies with business interests in Israel, namely Chevron and General Dynamics. Furthermore, despite being Chairman of the House Committee on Ethics, in 2021, he was fined for not disclosing his family trust’s trading of up to 30,000 USD in energy-related stocks.

• Guest has been endorsed by multiple conservative organizations, including the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). In 2022, he took a trip to Israel paid for by the AIPAC-affiliated American Israel Education Foundation, and he has received nearly 60,000 USD in campaign and lobbying contributions from AIPAC since 2019.

• Guest has also received more than 180,000 USD in campaign contributions from the largest U.S. military contractors, notably including Honeywell International, RTX, Boeing, and OSI Systems.

• In his relatively brief time in Congress, Guest has co-sponsored more than 40 pro-Israel bills, of which at least 9 have passed the House. These include a bill to impose sanctions on the International Criminal Court, on Hamas and Hezbollah, and on Iran and entities dealing with Iranian oil; multiple resolutions standing with Israel and affirming its “right to self-defense”; and a bill designating funds for Israel as emergency spending, which exempts it from spending limits.
