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

This is an uncontested race; Maritza Davila is the only candidate on the November ballot. She has no completed Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey, no located 2026 campaign website, and no 'priorities in her own words' statement could be found on her official Assembly pages, so priorities are left empty rather than inferred. Her one documented position (rent regulation) is drawn from her sponsor's memorandum on A00989; the rest of the entry relies on her official Assembly biography, committee assignments and legislative record. Her biography relies on her official Assembly biography; birth year and the 2013 special-election result come from Wikipedia, as no Ballotpedia profile page or news profile could be loaded.
