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

Tannousis's 'issues' page returned a 404, so his priorities are drawn from his 'Meet Mike' bio and a 2019 'Reasons I'm Running' post (both still linked from his active 2026 campaign site). Qorraj's Ballotpedia infobox links a campaign website (timforassembly.com, under the name 'Tim Qorraj'), which supplied his background, priorities and one position; no completed Candidate Connection survey or independent news coverage was found for him. Added a rent/tenant statement from his campaign site (checked Oct. 19, 2026). Qorraj's biography rests on his own campaign website; no independent profile of him was found.
