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

Soto has not completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey, so his current stated priorities and issue positions are not documented here. Dan Green's campaign site lists issue headings with short descriptions; most do not take a side on the guide's issue statements. Biography gaps: Green's birth year and civilian employers after the Defense Department were not found in loaded sources.
