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
John Healy has no known campaign website or Ballotpedia Candidate Connection response for this race (re-checked https://ballotpedia.org/John_Healy on 2026-09-25: no Biography section, and he has not completed the 2026 or 2025 Candidate Connection surveys). The sourced background and priorities here come from a New York Young Republican Club endorsement of his overlapping 2025 NYC Council campaign (nyyrc.com), the only substantive record of his positions found; no statements addressing the guide's 15 fixed issue keys were found, so no `positions` entries were added. Jessica González-Rojas's priorities in the current Senate race could not be independently verified beyond her 2020 Ballotpedia candidate survey answers (still displayed on her current Ballotpedia page) and her official Assembly bio; a July 2026 Spectrum News item covering her Senate primary win was video-only and its text did not describe specific policy priorities, so it was removed as a source. Biography details for Jessica González-Rojas come from her official Assembly biography and her Ballotpedia profile; John Healy's biography is limited to the 2025 endorsement and Ballotpedia pages cited, as no campaign biography page could be loaded.
