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.

Biography expanded from Ballotpedia profiles, Wikipedia, Emory Health Digest, and Clark's campaign site; Chavez has no campaign website located and Clark's Ballotpedia profile and Wikipedia differ on her degrees, so only the Emory Ph.D. and University of Tennessee B.S. are stated.
