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

Federal key roll-call votes and FEC finance totals for incumbent Juan Ciscomani are added separately by script. Gary Swing and Michael Dorland both completed Ballotpedia's 2026 Candidate Connection survey with substantive biography and platform content. Jereme Peters had no public platform found beyond his ballot listing. Biography gaps: no biography, website or news coverage was found for Jereme Peters beyond his ballot listing (his Ballotpedia page lists only party and primary status), so his background is left empty; Ciscomani's birth year is not stated in the sources; Gary Swing's own materials give inconsistent years (1996 vs. 2016) for his Arizona U.S. Senate run, so the year is omitted.
