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

Laura Friedman has not completed Ballotpedia's 2026 Candidate Connection survey; positions and priorities were drawn from her official House issues page and press releases. Her federal floor votes and FEC totals are added separately by script. Scott Meyers completed the 2026 survey, which is the basis for his priorities and the tax position listed here. Scott Meyers: campaign website home and Issues pages added; the SAVE Act statement is the only direct match to a fixed issue statement. Biography expansion: Friedman's biography draws on her official House page and Ballotpedia; Scott Meyers has no official or news biography found, so his biography relies on Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey and his candidate-reported Ivoterguide profile (undergraduate degree and employers are from Ivoterguide only).
