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

Neither candidate has completed Ballotpedia's 2026 Candidate Connection survey. Bera's priorities and issue positions were drawn from his official House issues pages; his committee roles and a sponsored bill are listed as record. Tucker's positions and county-board record items are drawn from claims on his own campaign website, which were not independently verified against county meeting records. Biography gaps: Bera's biography comes from his official House page (which still describes the pre-redistricting 6th District) and Wikipedia; Tucker's biography is drawn from his campaign site and a campaign-submitted article in The Union, and his education, family-business and pilot details are self-reported and not independently verified.
