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

Donald Norcross has not completed Ballotpedia's 2026 Candidate Connection survey and his official House website's Sponsored Legislation issue page is undated, so the bills listed in his record reflect legislation he has introduced in prior Congresses rather than confirmed 2025-2026 introductions; per the research brief his federal floor votes and FEC totals are added separately by script. Damon Galdo's priorities and positions come from his 2026 Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey and his 2024 campaign website (no updated 2026 issues page was found). Donald Norcross's labor-union roles are taken from his House biography (IBEW Local 351), which differs from the local number and title listed on Ballotpedia.
