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

Gomez has not completed Ballotpedia's 2026 Candidate Connection survey and no current issues page was found on his campaign materials, so his 2026 priorities/positions rely on his last completed (2020) survey, cited as dated context. Gonzales-Torres has not completed a Candidate Connection survey; her positions come from her campaign website. Federal key votes and FEC finance totals for both candidates are added separately by script. Biography gaps: Gomez's official bio does not give a birth year or birthplace; Gonzales-Torres's materials do not list degrees, institutions or employers by name beyond what is cited, and no birth year was found.
