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

Jennifer Todd has not completed the 2026 Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey; her campaign issues page is the source for the entries below. Mary Miller's official house.gov issues pages (marymiller.house.gov/issues) contain only press-release feeds with no issue statements; her current campaign "About" page and her archived 2020 campaign website (reproduced on her Ballotpedia page) were used instead for positions on immigration enforcement, which is not restated on her current site. Added statements and priorities from the campaign issues page (loaded 2026-10-19). No statement was clear enough to record as an additional position. Miller's Ballotpedia profile says she earned a second bachelor's degree in elementary education while her official biography says graduate coursework in education, so the official version is used; Todd's prior public offices, if any, were not found.
