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
Federal key votes and FEC finance totals for Lee are added separately by script. Ballotpedia's dedicated page for Marty O'Donnell was unreachable during research; his general-election qualification and party are confirmed from the statewide 2026 U.S. House elections page and the district-race coverage on Susie Lee's Ballotpedia page. No campaign website or public statements were found for O'Donnell or for Independent American Party candidate Jon Kamerath. Jon Kamerath: his campaign site (jonkamerath.org) was loaded and has brief issue statements on affordability, water and abortion; no questionnaire answers or news interviews were found, so depth stays minimal. O'Donnell's campaign site and Nevada Independent profiles were used for his biography. No public statements or biography beyond his election history were found for Independent American Party candidate Jon Kamerath. Kamerath's occupation, education, and residence could not be found in public sources.
