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 incumbents' key floor votes and FEC campaign-finance totals are added separately by script. This race has no incumbent on the November ballot, since Adriano Espaillat lost his primary. Manual Williams's campaign website consists largely of point-by-point attacks on his opponent; only his own affirmative positions, stated in his own words, are reflected in this file.
