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

Krueger's positions are drawn from her official Senate bio and press releases rather than a campaign website with an explicit platform; some commonly attributed positions (e.g., on congestion pricing or immigration) could not be confirmed with a direct citable statement and were left out rather than inferred from party. Biographical detail for Alina Bonsell is limited to her Ballotpedia profile and Candidate Connection survey; no campaign website with a biography page was loaded, and her two survey submissions give different figures for years of experience.
