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 floor votes and FEC finance totals for Latimer are populated separately by script. Cinquemani has minimal press coverage and has not filed FEC receipts to date; his record here reflects his own campaign statements only. Pass 2 (Oct. 2026): his campaign issues page lists a dozen proposals (several, such as the 'Billionaire Investment Tax' and cooperation between state and local law enforcement and federal officers, are titles only, with no explanatory text), so no further positions could be sourced. No prior elected office or earlier campaigns were found for Cinquemani in the sources reviewed.
