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

Walker is unopposed on the Nov 3, 2026 ballot; Yahemia Harris, who had filed to run, is listed by Ballotpedia as withdrawn or disqualified and is not on the general-election ballot. No 2026 campaign website or Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey response was found for Walker, so priorities and positions are drawn from her official Assembly biography and her 2025-2026 sponsored-legislation record rather than campaign statements in her own words. Biography details come from her official Assembly biography, supplemented by Wikipedia and Ballotpedia for education and 2014 election details.
