Issue evidence — side by side

Recorded votes, documented positions and candidates’ own words are shown with sources. “In their own words” quotes a candidate on the topic without inferring a stance. Votes describe specific bills or motions; they do not establish overall support or opposition to a broad issue. A dash means our research has no evidence on that topic, not that the candidate has no position.

Research notes & limits

Oster Bryan has no legislative or prior-office record since he has not held elected office; his entry relies on his Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey and Ballotpedia's biography summary. Vanel's 2025-2026 sponsored bills reviewed here remain in committee (not yet enacted); no closely divided floor vote by Vanel was identified in the Assembly roll-call snapshot for this cycle. Bryan's biography relies on his Ballotpedia profile and Candidate Connection surveys; no campaign website was found.
