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

Neither candidate has completed Ballotpedia's 2026 Candidate Connection survey. Brook-Krasny's campaign website (abkforassembly.com) has an issues page that repeatedly failed to load during research, so his positions rely on his official Assembly press releases and bill sponsorships, which do not cover most of the fixed issue list; only one position (immigration_enforcement) could be documented directly, per the no-inference standard. McCreight's positions are from his campaign website; he has not held elected office, so he has no official voting or bill-sponsorship record. Brook-Krasny's graduate degree is listed on Ballotpedia only; his campaign website's issues page did not load, and McCreight's college is not named in his materials.
