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
Both candidates' priorities and positions are drawn from their Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey answers (their own words); campaign websites were not independently reachable to confirm quotes verbatim at time of research. Federal key votes and FEC finance totals are added separately by script (not applicable to Jones, a non-incumbent). Biographical details for Koh come from Ballotpedia, NBC News, Wikipedia and his campaign website's homepage; his About page contents could not be loaded. Little public biographical detail beyond Ballotpedia's survey and one news profile was found for Jones.
