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
Basic-tier research from Ballotpedia. Shawn Harris's positions come from his campaign issue pages. Andrew Underwood (Libertarian) was removed: he is not on the printed Nov. 3 ballot per the Paulding County sample ballot and is not a certified write-in per the Secretary of State list. Basic-tier research from Ballotpedia, expanded with Rep. Fuller's House biography and Shawn Harris's campaign website. Ballotpedia lists Libertarian Andrew Underwood as disqualified from the November 3 general election and Rob Ruszkowski as a write-in candidate; their ballot status should be confirmed with the Georgia Secretary of State. Little public biography exists beyond Ballotpedia survey answers for Underwood and Ruszkowski.
