A second, independent research pass re-opened every cited source for this race and corrected or removed anything the source didn’t support.

  • Rogers ballotNote incorrectly said he 'defeated incumbent Neal Dunn in a preceding round'; Ballotpedia lists Dunn as a withdrawn/disqualified candidate, not someone Rogers defeated in a vote — reworded.
  • Source s2 (Amanda Green) pointed to Ballotpedia's disambiguation page (ballotpedia.org/Amanda_Green), which has no biographical or survey content; corrected the URL to the actual candidate page (ballotpedia.org/Amanda_Green_(Florida)), where all cited background/priorities were verified verbatim.
  • Removed the housing_supply position for Amanda Green: her source statements address housing costs and corporate ownership of single-family homes but say nothing about zoning/supply, so neither 'supports' nor 'mixed' was directly shown.
  • Verified: Green won the Democratic primary 33.4%, Rogers won the Republican primary 30.3% in an eight-candidate field (24,799 votes) — both figures confirmed on Ballotpedia's race page.
