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

Marcela Mitaynes has no completed Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey and no located 2026 campaign website, so her priorities/positions rely only on her official Assembly biography and legislative record. Carla Danielson has no located campaign website, survey response, or news coverage; her entry, including her biography, reflects only the Ballotpedia race and candidate pages listing her ballot lines, so no biographical details such as education or occupation could be sourced.
