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

Danniel Maio has not completed a 2026 Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey for this race; his quoted priorities and the congestion-pricing position come from his 2022 survey answers for this same seat (his most recent answers specific to NY Senate District 15), since no more recent statements from him were found. He has no record of holding office. No official or campaign biography of Danniel Maio beyond his Ballotpedia profile was found, so his biography is limited to education, profession and his candidacy history.
